brushless
ok guys I need help anyone familiar with running the novak brushless SS motor in a xxx-s G+ ???? what gearing is anyone useing is the black belt worth putting in anything else going from stock racing to brushless that I need to upgrade thanks for any help

ok one more thing I have a 90 tooth spur, running on a tight track. I am going to put the black belt in I think, anyone have a pinion recommendation ????? thanks again

i believe the manual says a 20 doesnt it?
08-14-2004, 03:26 PM
yeah if the manual said 20 that would be great........ I wouldn't have to ask 
I have been looking at gearing charts I think I got it worked out but anyone who has accually ran a brushless in the xxx-s I would love to hear from you

well, ill put it to you this way. my buddy had an xxx-s G+... he also had a novak brushless system. low and behold he ran a 20 pinion. now im not saying its perfect for your track, maybe it could be a nice starting point?

What thickness would be a good starting point for front swaybars on carpet?

one more question just out of curiousity anyone seen the difference say between the novak brushless 5800 SS and an 10x1 revolution motor???? thanks thinking of trying mod and looking into my options

Brushless is going to have massive amounts of torque. The Revolution motors are know for lacking in that area. They'll probably have about the same top end but the power band is going to be totally different.

At the Nats they had a brushless class with Novak supplying the motor and controller for use to anyone that signed up, the speeds were closer to 19 turn than to modified, go here:

Notice that the brushless turn was a 7 minute heat and I just took the fastest A main runs (rounded for math purposes):
Brushless - 26 laps - 7 minutes = 3.71 laps per minute,
19 turn - 20 laps - 5.25 minutes = 3.8 laps per minute
Modified - 20 laps - 5 minutes = 4.0 laps per minute.

it isnt really true because the guys were not the same in both classes. The guys in the brushless are not as fast as the open mod guys so it can't be compared this way I think...

High bite
Foam tires on oxcite carpet is considered a high bite track?
Would un-prepared parking lot be low bite?
Swept and sugar watered parking lot?
What about sealed prepared asphalt (not a parking lot)?
