So even companies, such as Novak, manufacturing here for 33 years cannot advertise "Made in the USA". Therefore, we adopted the "Designed, assembled and tested by Novak in Irvine, Calif., using globally sourced components." A similar disclaimer is probably used by everyone by now.
thanks for the specifics Charlie..I knew it had something to do with california law , but you know how exaggerations move on the net...

Got my el cheapo 17.5 /60a speedo combo yesterday..Didnt have time to put the speedo in before i went racing, but I did run the 17.5 in 2wd buggy, blinky esc class just ran it with my Hobbywing 60a I had in the buggy..These motors are JUST FINE for club racing in blinky mode.I was just as fast as I usually am and made the A with no problem.It was actually faster than the 3 yr old Orion 17.5 that I have been running in that class which was expected since the orion motor is 3 years old...Looking at the speedo up close it IS a hobby wing just as suspected, just has a different Cap. module on it..will be getting the yellow speedo in my buggy for testing at next weeks races..Mr .Ypin2000 (ebay seller) should be giving me a kickback at this point,LOL..Have quite a few peeps at the track looking at these pretty hard after scoping mine out last night...

Wish he would sell the 17.5T motors alone, as I have no use for the speedos.

he does say in his listing to contact him for extra motors with your purchase..dont know if he will sell the motors seperately, but i kinda hope so since now I want a few different winds for my motor arsenal...

Does anyone have the yellow case 60a stateside? I'm going to get one, and I'd be ok paying a little more to get it quicker.

Just skimmed through this thread and wanted to thank you guys for all the info. I am most likely going to use a 60A esc and a 13.5t combo to run in an old XXX buggy in addition to the SC10 I plan on racing.

I used the HW 1.64v s/w to update to the latest mod firmware (with both a 8.5 for 2wd and 7.5 for 4wd buggy). Timing/Turbo boost is off. It runs quite cool. I have never used STOCK.

around 2.5 weeks on the shipping time, others have had them come quicker..The esc comes with a USB link, but it is easy to program manually, or one could buy a hobbywing lcd programming box to use with it. That is probally what I will do since you can store firmware in the lcd box, and just use the USB link it comes with for at home tweaking...

I have a couple of the 60 and 120 amp xeruns and they dont allow me access to all the boost settings when using computer link or programming box

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You might need to update your software. Im not sure that early ezrun systems allow the updates tho..

Make sure the firmware update took by repeating the update 2 times at least.Check the Xerun thread for the exact proceedure and firmware version you need..
