Old School Novak T1 - for the win

[JK Racing]

I recently raced my RC10 at a club race. I took my fully decked out goldie, all modern electronics, brushless w/boost 17.5 motor, lipo, spektrum...full tilt racer. Pushed like a dump truck. So I grabbed my back up car, my powdercoated black car. Novak T1, blue can Monster 27T stock motor. Tossed in my lipo & spektrum receiver and hit the track (oh, Futaba 3003 servo). TQ and the win in stock buggy...



I didnt do as good with my Mod racer, 13X2 and Cyclone TC2 speedo...4th overall



Either way, both cars performed flawlessly. But they will give way to brushless, I dont have a lathe or any of the stuff to maintain the old brushed motors anymore. They will retire to basher duty until the finally die.

Awesome, how do you stand with lipo cutoff though?

Congratulations! See, a S3003 can last a whole race day....sometimes .

5400 Mah & 6 minute races...not an issue. I repeak them after each heat. They were taking about 1200 stock, 1500 modified.

I'm buying my first lipo packs v.soon

my son's T4 with 17.5 brushless was using about 800-850 per heat. he uses a 3200 20C pack (very low end by todays standards). I must admit, Lipos are probably one of the best investments I have made in the past 20+ years of racing.

On the original topic, I always had great luck with my T-4 speed control. Later I swapped to the T-1X. They both still work!

That T1 brings back some really good memories. I had several of them, and you could run the snot out of them!

I have on on my 12L Shelfer...

BITD, I ran 10 cells on my 12L through one... It held up for a long time. And then I had to turn.
