4300/19T or 5800/19T
Sorry if this question has been asked before but I was wondering which Novak brushless motor is closest to a 19T brushed motor - the 4300 or the 5800? We are setting up our classes for summer racing and we want to combine the 19T with one of these and was trying to get a feel for which is most fair in general. This is on-road touring car.

4300 is very similar to a 19t. The 4300 has tremendous grunt off the corners (I said grunt) and the 19t usually is a tick faster on top end. My laptimes at the Novak in brushless 4300 class were as fast as the top three in Sportsman 19t and the laptimes of Doseck and Ron Atomic were probably A-main Expert 19t laptimes.

With the brushless in sportsman mode, it's alot like a 19. We've been letting a few run with us in oval. Very competetive.

The 5800 is rated at 196W and the 4300 is 175W. A good machine wound 19T is in the 185 to 190W range.
On a big track the 5800 runs close to hand wound 19T. The 4300 has the top end of a regular 19T motor but with far less torq.

Are you going to be practicing this weekend at the Hobby Shop track?

on a 300 foot oval the 4300 is less than 3 seconds off the best 19 turn track record. the 5800 in the right hands at a oval track would be laps faster than any current 19 turn motor.
4300 is very close to 19 turn in oval
5800 would be a nice expert class

Should have kept my 2 G10's that I sold this past year.
ps
Where is my body??
