well i had planned on getting the novak system. but then after running my emaxx some with a vxl and 3s. all i can say is its damn fast. it has the tires balloning like crazy and can flip over backwards wherever it can get traction. standing backflips. so im gonna use it in my revo and try it. if it doesnt satisfy, thats when ill end up with the hv maxx. if i had the hv maxx, id use twin 5000 2s maxamps. now im using a single 8000 3s maxamps.
