If you buy the Novak, you're stuck with it. There is no secondary market for used Novak 1S equipment other than landfill ballast.

If you buy better quality, and better suitability and decide that you DON'T like it, chances are almost 100% that you'll be able to sell it quickly without taking a significant knock in the wallet.

Oh, and better stuff will help you unlock the potential and fun of 12th. NEVER regretted buying good batteries, good motors, and good ESCs. But I do regret the orange stuff.....

IMHO, even used first line equipment would be a better choice.
Thank you for your humble opinion andits noted... we COULD start some sort of wild A$$ 1s dragracing or something but ya its landfill if its not getting used but still half the $$$ of a LRP setup. but i really want a murfdogg just cuz its gotta good reputation.... well not really i just like the colour lolol
