Hey guys. The other day I slipped a 6.5 turn HV Novak into an RC8T because my MMM V3 didnt arrive for raceday.
At first I was disappointed because it was slow, but after gearing it DOWN, got some great track speed and good temp range.
Then after 4 races she started screaming like the pinion came loose.
I checked that, the centre diff, and started scratching my head 'till I realised the motor shaft wasn't turning.
Thats right after 4 races, 3 sets of batteries the magnet pulled off the rotor shaft.
I couldn't believe my eyes, and have emailed Novak asking them kind of nicely to replace the rotor. (fingers crossed)
I have since put my other HV system up for sale and have vowed never to buy another Novak.

P.S Its not just me, I have CC, Neu, Speed Passion and even my Velineons have never given me the Novak Nerves.....
 
No not yet. Still waiting. I use their GTB speedies, but its honestly the only thing I found I can rely on.
I will check out their Havoc speedies too, later on...
