Has anyone tried this one for oval racing?

Novak's SLYDR is an upgraded, BL only, GTB w/one motor mapping area instead of the GTBs' adjustable profiles.

We are also releasing--this week--our Havoc 3S speed control. This is different from the Havoc Sport/Spec (2s) esc offered in the 4 Havoc systems. The new 3S required both a hardware and firmware upgrade to add the 3s lipo cut-off circuitry. It should have a street price @99.00.

The PRs should be uploaded to our website today or tomorrow. The new PRs also include the information about our SmartBoost module for 1 cell lipo packs.

I think the orion on is called the "Vortex". and on the KO side its called the "BMC"

The "Feigao's" make the Granturismo's :-)

uhm.. another chinese company "EZRUN" some 25a and 150a brushless/sensored and some sensorless esc's too really cheap. "gasp".

I think i even saw the LRP brushless sport esc's for like 100$ on ebay! :P

you don't need any bigger wire for 21.5 and the 21.5 motor sensor wires plu right into the mongoose, it's a really nice controller. Best of all it's Novak!I heard some guys are using the novak mongoose speedo and adding bigger wire for the size difference. also you have mamba brushlees stuff for the 18th scalers

Mits with the low amp draw of the 21.5 motor, a MONGOOSE has been working fine for a lot of people...

It's not a HIGH END control, so for guys who are running at the upper end of the competition they MAY notice a difference..but if you aren't on that end....you probably wouldn't. (You'll see much more variance in your LAP TIMES from inconsistant LAPS)

oh trust me.. you should rename me from ninja to "twitchy"... at least i dont dance like frank (oops.. hehehe *hides*) when i get a "riddim" going.. i get some really good lap times. its turn 3/4 i always have problems. i can't even blame "age" yet... hmm. maybe all these years of doubleshot espressos is finally catching up.



*sits down*
*rings bell*
*drinks green tea*
.....hmmmmm....

be one with the car.



ok back to ESC's...

ebay has alot of "china" branded ESC's im finding. just search "brushless esc" and you'll see the burst of them. creepy.. alot kinda look "novaky" too!

im happy with the GTB's so far.. but having somethign to tweak the settings would be so nice... :-) some of these cheapie ones have it!!
