Default Anybody running the Novak Sport Sensored 8.5 in a DB01?

http://www.teamnovak.com/products/br...ort/index.html

I've been looking at that pretty seriously for my Durga. Currently I've got the silver kit 540 in the car and while it's acceptable for driving around the house annoying the dogs, it'll be pretty woefully inadequate for any outdoor bashing/racing when summer rolls around.

Is anyone using one of these in a Durga or otherwise? I haven't found much in the way of reviews, though it seems nearly too good to be true. 8.5 Novak brushless for $130US? An 8.5 on loose surface in a Durga should be more than enough for loose surface outdoor tracks, which is all that's around me.

Any thoughts? At that price, it leaves me money to pick up a slipper, 501 dampers, aluminum suspension mounts and some better loose surface tires. Previous to seeing this, I was going to buy the Novak 5.5R GTB system, but this seems like it'd be awfully close in performance on a loose track, especially at my rather amateur skill level.
