Neil - While I have not had problems with my Novak SS, there have been plenty of truck guys that have. Mostly motor shaft problems, a few ESC problems. Novak claims that we have a very high failure rate here at Marcca. I think it may just be the abuse from the concrete. Hopefully sedans will be much less abusive on the system.
Celt - But set on open mode I would think that we would be back to battery wars. That's why I like the idea of the stock setting on the ESC, it limits both acceleration AND top speed. So no matter how good your battery is, everybody would basically have the exact same powerband.
