Although i've only run Novak, i can certainly vouch for their ease of use and effectiveness.

I used to own a ss5800 which was fantastic. Smooth, lots of power and it never gave me any troubles at all. I only pulled it apart before i sold it to make sure things were fine, and it was spotless...


Then i moved up to a GTB with 5.5R when it first came out and my system is still running strong. Fantastic power equal to 9t brushed.. super smooth and no maintenance. It lets you just drive. No replacing springs, brushes, aligning things, resoldering things etc. etc..

Good run-time, no maintenance, plenty of power. What more cna you ask for?

(Now for the bads...

The clear Novak fan breaks easily - stones, fingers, sticks etc will snap blades off. Buy a few more incase of failure, or get some much more fans to replace with..

The unit WILL thermal is incorrectly geared. Not a fault of the system, but do be aware.

The motor likes to be kept cool. 99% of thermals are due to the motor overheating. For maximum performance, aim a fan at the motor for better speed and consistency.

The system WILL overheat if the fans go dud. Has happened to me on a few occasions, just due to fan failure. Mainly track debris. But as soon as you put a fan on it (Like it was designed ...) it goes back to being fantastic!

Get the idea? - the fan is weak. Get one now so you don't spend time not running..

Lastly - all this is long term stuff. DOn't worry about teh fan breaking on it's own. It just won't happen. Mainly it stupid butter fingers from reaching under the shell, or small sticks/wire getting in there!!

)

All in all.. i'd recommend it 100% (If i had another car, it would be another Novak in there. No questions asked... it's just so damn easy to run!
