Which booster to get for 1c using lrp speedo's,
Novak,or TQ? or whoever

In addition to the Boost circuitry, the Novak SmartBoost features the 1S Lipo Cut-off circuitry.

As I have mentioned in other threads, Novak escs are all designed to work well on 4 cell NiMH/1S lipo. However, racers need the boost circuit for the receiver/servos that were not designed for such low voltage applications.

ohp all the way

who will build the first speedo so we don't have to add on Boosters?

I've used a TQ with zero issues

I burned up 2 OHP's before the car ever saw the track

I have a Novak in the car I am going to try this week

Novak is where its at. i hate my TQ. Doesnt seem to work as well as my Novak one.

oh its the smart boost from novak if your gonna google it

No need to Google....

koz a 15.00 TP lipo rec pack is da bomb..yes i know you have to baby sit the thing (charge it) but it's hard to beat the price and alot less wiring in the car...

i have two leftover lipo packs when we were running promod 3 years ago

Bill let me know what your conclusion is aftr this weekend with the novak

Isnt the ohp one same as tq?

I have to agree with Bill on this, I started out in 1c with a nimh receiver pack, upgraded ( I thought ) to one of the boosters and was unhappy with it. I am now using the TP lipo receiver pack.
BTW, I charge it the night before racing and not at all on race day and still have plenty of mah left over.

Kevin, I'd go with the receiver pack also.

see my 6000 posts aren't all for not! lol

I heard this story about a blind squirrel and a nut once.........LOL

15.00 TP lipo rec pack is da bomb..Kat, any idea which of the LHS here in central Florida (if any) carry the Thunder Power pack? $15 sounds a whole lot better than $40 for the Novak SmartBoost.

Novak esc's work fine without a booster or rx pack.

As a matter of fact, the biggest 1 cell race in the country to date (Maximus 42 cars) was tq'd with a novak esc without rx pack or booster (he burnt up a LRP esc and booster earlier in the day). Track record at my local track is also held by a Novak esc no rx pack or booster.

All escs we have designed in the last 25+ years work on 4 cell(1S lipo) Indoor, 12th scale, 4-cell carpet racing was "big" back then. If your other electronics (servo/receiver) work OK on low voltage, then you don't need a booster.
