I installed a Novak Kinetic/13.5 combo in my Losi 22 last week. I ran it on my backyard track for less than 3 minutes. I noticed the car was making a little noise so I pulled it over to me and it came to a stop rather quickly (didnt coast to a stop). I figured something went bad in the diff so I temped it (130) and headed into my house......POOF.... the whole Speed control goes up in smoke and catches fire!!!! I put the fire out and checked things out further......the damn motor seized a bearing or something worse!

3 minutes and both the motor and SC are toast!


That concludes my short visit to Novak-ville. I wont be going back!
