I'm glad offroad season is upon us so I don't have to spend my money on different systems or motors before some concrete rules are in place.
the same was said about the 4300/10.5 when it first came out.

Matt, i heard that the Hobbyplex in Omaha was mixing them in 12th scale 27T/13.5 and 19T/4300-10.5. what are the results so far? i was told this from a sponsored driver from Texas who ran at the last big race at the Plex in Omaha. i beleive he got 3rd in the A in 27T. Although 27T's won, he said it was like running against slow 19T's. he said that if a better driver was running them, the 13.5 would have ruled.

15.5 ironic
Some racers that run at Allen's Raceway in Illinois tested Novak 14.5-16.5 motors in pan oval cars. when they came to our track, i overheard their comments when they were discussing the speed of the 13.5 over a 27T and that they felt the 16.5 was closer to a 27T in a 1/10 pan car (4-cells). they were also talking/considering the possibly using the Novak 18.5 in their spec class. that's when i mentioned the 18.5 costs more than the 13.5
