Novak Brushless 5.5 or 6.5??

[derek5]

i'm new in BJ4, i want to know 5.5 or 6.5 which one is suitable in BJ4? is it 5.5 too powerful? and what's the teeth of pinion you are using?

You can never have too much power, if you can control your left thumb

The 5.5 seems to be the option most go for in 4wd, but depending on your level of skill you may be quicker wth a 6.5.

If you can control your left index finger hahaha

I have the LRP 6.5 in my car, and I only switch over to the 5.5 for the larger tracks.

I'm running a Novak GTB/4.5 in my BJ4 and I'm loving it but I am right on the limit of my Batt 4000 cells. Had to drop to 14/78 from 15 at the last meeting to guarantee the finish . Still plenty fast enough though

Regards,
Jon.

I run an LRP 5.5 in my BJ4 which is pretty spot on, I can't imagine really wanting a 6.5; just don't push the stick/trigger as far

The Novak motors are slightly slower turn for turn compared to the LRP's so a 5.5 Novak is probably somewhere between an LRP 5.5 and 6.5, go for the 5.5

Do you use the stock rotor (bounded) or the option one (sinterred) ?

Thanks

Rich uses the novak sintered motors.

Are you sure??

[LEGEND]

Which rich? Rich Lowe. It is just that when ever i have seen his car he has been running a lrp x11 5.5 motor. Well he could have put a novak sintered rotor in it whithout out us all knowing.

[NeilD]

I was pitting with him on Sat and i'm 100% certain he runs LRP cans and rotors. My 5.5 died and we had a conversation about rotors this is why i'm asking.

[notlawnomis]

Bit off topic but, did you make it to York in time Neil!!

..........and what is Morphosis Automotive Artwork???

[Lee]

You are correct sorry chaps, Rich advised me to get novak sintered, sorry i stand corrected.

Hi Simon, yes we made it to York in time although we were a little tired, Richards eyes had turned red he was that shattered!

Morphosis is Simon major who sprays my shells along with a few others. He's very quick, 3-4 day turnaround although i think he managed to spray Gregg Williams shell in 24 hours as he needed it for a National. His prices are superb too.


Lee, thanks for letting me have a go with your car as well.
