6.5 brushless swap for a 8.5 sintered not bonded
 

hi all as it says i ve got a novak velocity 6.5 purple heat ring and i want to calm things down as its working better for me so im after a 8.5 sintered motor let me know what you ve got cheers guys :D

Graham, have you got throttle curve adjustment on your tranny ? Might be worth trying some negative throttle curve before you get rid of your 6.5. It helps loads through the tighter sections. Try - 30% and go from there. It just means that you have more travel for your thumb before you reach full throttle. I have found it very useful on tighter tracks like Worksop.

HTH

halfway through yesterday G went to a 10.5 to calm things down and improved by over a lap but we dont think a 10.5 will be enough for outdoors hence the 8.5 being needed ;)

we have already tried throttle curves etc but they dont help when everything is either on or off :woot:

yer and i got a twelve lap in the final too best result for me so far at worksop , and it worked really well with a 10.5 too thanks guys nathan and lewis

Ok no probs - didnt realise you had already got good advice G

Thumb transplant maybe ;) ? :woot:

Good advice????:confused:
From Nathan "Throttle Jammer" Ralls??????:p

hahahahahahahaha

lmao cheeky bugger i have a very smooth 8th style thumb :p :woot:
come on people someong must have a 8.5 and be wanting a little more grunt ;)

bumpage by niggs cheers mate come in guys let us know what you ve got

bump ,,, has no one got an 8.5 if not then i would consider a 7.5

Graham,

Don't want to de-rail this thread but most people seem to think an 8.5 is going to be too slow, I don't know many people who have them. However I completely agree that (especially with Lipo) they can be a really usefull smooth motor. If you can't get one 2nd hand and decide to buy new I can recomend the Novak one which I've used in most of the Worksop rounds this year in 2wd and not exactly been off the pace.

If you get a 7.5 then consider a bit of negative throttle curve over what you usally use.

cheers danny will do
