Novak's NEW system? As in the HV Pro? Hardly new - unless they've just pulled something out without anyone knowing?

The HV Pro is old tech - superseeded by the superior Tekin RX8 and Castle MMM - which can be had for similar prices.

It can only run 4S max - which may or may not be an issue to you. Also, as far as I know, the BEC is a bit iffy with voltages over 2S LiPo.

The Castle, Hobbywing, or Tekin would serve you better.

LOL ya the novak was my first system and it stunk. It was fast but over heated alot and fans broke left and right. It would be neat if they updated it.

I had the Novak and it melted. The BEC is useless and the technology used is very old and cannot withstand the demands of todays 1/8th scale requirements.

I am glad you find it good inbar, but myself and alot of others just did not enjoy the way it is so picky when running and the motors are a little small and the system usually needs a separate BEC. In fact I had a couple of external BEC's but found the Novak to not like them so had to run and external NiMH pack.
