Anyway, I have been leaning towards the Novak GTB combo
![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
Surely there are some opinions on this one

Those will be fine. I'm just saying that if you happen to now, or decide to switch the cut-off is built in. Hell, I'd wait anyway. They get cheaper by the day. The packs are decent, but the chargers are still a bit hi. You can get a Duratrax Onyx 230 for about $80 US and a decent large capacity pack for $75. That's still pretty high when you can still get great deals on NiMh. As for durability you can get hardcase models, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.vintage AE wrote:hey theytookmythumb,
thanks, those are pretty good prices, that must be armerican dollars, eh. I will definitely look into those as options.
I am glad you brought up the batteries, because I wasn't thinking about LiPo batteries...I haven't made the transition yet and don't know too much about them. I hear that they are not as rugged and probably shouldn't be used for bashing, but who am I to say. I was thinking of using a Reedy 3600 Wolfpack.
that's a good price, I'll look them up.JK Racing wrote:Just saw my ad last night (from the mail), Novak Havok brushless systems for $120...www.hobbypeople.net I dont know if they do international shipping.
personally, I don't know much about how it stacks up, maybe some of the other know.aconsola wrote:how do the losi excelorin 1/10 scale systems stack up against the other brushless offerings?
I found the speed-T truck for $250. That has the brushless speedo, motor, spektrum rx and decent spektrum tx(with EPA, perfect as a backup) all included. Seems like a decent package deal except for all the extra packaging(ie the truck) that I don't need.
If their in Canada they do fast shipping to. nice people I bought a airplane kit from them.JK Racing wrote:Just saw my ad last night (from the mail), Novak Havok brushless systems for $120...www.hobbypeople.net I dont know if they do international shipping.
Perhaps a little too new to be sure, but so far they seem to working reasonably well from what I have heard. Some adjustability with a programming card, no darn blinkity lights, can also do more with a PC like the Castle. One area that the Novak GTB is a little behind on, I don’t know about the new Havok. The Losi sensored motors in particular seem pretty strong, I've seen several Novak guys switch to those motors.aconsola wrote:how do the losi excelorin 1/10 scale systems stack up against the other brushless offerings?

I didnt notice any cogging with my 4600 MM sensorless set up.Seems to be worse with higher turn/slower winds, less of an issue with hotter motors strangely enough.
