Speed passion or gtb bit of a dilema

[B-Master]

Hi guys fairly new to racing TC and i have only just got my head around brushed motors but it seams my club is going brushless and well i am going to sheep.

both i am possibly swaying toward the speed passion due to the hand held setup device it seams to make it all alot eaiser to comprahend.

but my question is would you go for the speed passion or the novak gtb if so why ? or experiacnces with either would help also

many thanks

In My Opinion!:
Speed Passion are a very recent entrant to RC car competition, and in that sense are an unknown and tested item. Novak have been around for years, and have successfully competed at the top level (Worlds etc etc) for a long time. I went for the GTB on previous Novak Experience (I had 2 cyclones with the great solder posts) which were uber reliable and a sinch to setup and use.

The drawback to the GTB is, it is very large and was a squeeze in my B4. However, so far it has been reliable, and if you buy a package, (most of them come with Sintered Rotors (check before buying) - (seem to be more reliable with better brakes and cooler running). The newest GTB's also come with Li-Po cutoff built in (again check before buying, as mine didn't).

Novak also make the L range of motors so maybe worth a look.

you can't look for a brushless setup and not have the LRP Sphere on the list.

you have to have them as an option at least.
