GordonFreeman,

We are talking about the same notion...the stock version of the Noval brushless system (SS4300, you have the SS5800), even in unlimited mode, replicates a 27 turn stock motor. The point being that without that "limiting" function, there is no artificial flatspot you get with the SS5800 in "limited" mode.

I've driven two of these systems in unlimited mode and they feel like, to me anyway, a new, well tuned, stock motor. I've yet to try one in "limited" mode.

There are a couple of people at MARCCA that have them - give it a try, very smooth. I thought to myself, why would Novak market such a strange product - a slower, less powerful brushless system and charge the same price?

It's possible that this is the very niche they were looking to cover - a consistent, stock class motor that has the benefits of being virtually maintenence free.

I'm pretty certain that even in "unlimited" mode, the Novak SS4300 (not the SS5800) performs similar to a 27 turn stock motor. Seems to be what we are looking for.
