I will second that Humpty, Charile would answer any question you had about the brushless stuff and even did a little class on the motors for us in between rounds. Novak will be the only thing I will run from now on.

 

I will Agree, Thanks Charlie for the help all weekend and for the Oval Support.I will be putting Novak back in my Race cars.

 

Yep, it was nice to have some support there at the track. I had Charlie check a motor for me, and found that some of the windings had shorted (due to my stupidity, LOL!) and he swapped it out for me right there! Novak has by far the best customer support out there!

Thanks again Charlie!

 

Charlie is the man......

 

Novak Rocks!

 

Thanks Charlie for the help about my GTX, you the man!

 

Guys, I didnt have to be at the race to know how good Novak can be. I have raced now for 16+yrs and there has never been another brand of ESC or Rec in any car I have ever owned. Over 30 wins and a National Championship cant lie to me. Greatest electronics in the World in my book. Keep up the great product, and thanks Charlie.

Charlie thanks for the help and support. GTX has been in my stock car for the 3 national title! Works flawless!

 

Charlie, Thanks for the support and great electronics! TQ and won stock and 2nd in 13.5 at the Ovalmasters!

 

I own many novak products including a millenium pro and Ionic-D, and was wondering if there will be a new top level charger that will handle lipo batteries? thanks

 

Charger01

They have been working on one for a while now, as a side project. The majority of their time has been invested in their brushless products. It's still gonna be a while before their charger is released.

 

thanks, adam

 

I have been trying all day to get through to Novak for tech support, I keep getting answering machines or a message to "call back later"!

Please call me 508-641-1973 My new brushless setup is defective! Needless to say i'm not a happy camper..

 

They are closed ever other Friday I believe. Their hours are posted on their site.

 

Thanks to Novak for the Support.. 2 new TQs and Track Records last night at RCSM in Phoenix ...4 cell 10.5 Trucks and Cars...

 

Thanks NOVAK for you excellent customer support, stopped in today with a toasted 17.5 was back on the road with a replacement and the all important MOTOR HEATSINK in 5 mins. Going to be back on the track this Sunday......K

 

Happy NEW YEAR.................. still setting the pace in BL racing.........

 

I am not an oval racer but I have to agree with you guys, Charlie and NOVAK are top notch!!!!

 

XBR with 13.5 problem

I recently purchased an XBR/13.5 system to run at the Steel Hobbies brushless Nationals race. Ran fine in practice with the Lipo but was to fast for me. Disabled the Lipo cutoff (rechecked twice) and have tried three different races to run carpet 4 cell oval pancar with nothing but problems. About 2 minutes into a run the car starts glitching on the back stretch and shuts off once or twice coming out of turn 2, again only after 2 minutes or so. Changed recievers (futaba and XXL) and radios (futaba 3PKs which I used for other vehicles at the same races with no issues). Finally replaced the XBR with one of my SS+ speedos and had no problems through 3 heats and a main yesterday. Motor came off the track at 165 F. Anything I should look for or try before returning for repair?

 

See my post in the brushless/lipo section about my XBR issue's

IS THERE A POSSIBILITY IT THERMALED WITH THE XBR? 165 IS FAIRLY WARM...

 

...I would bet this is still in "LIPO" mode. That sounds pretty much EXACTLY like what the LIPO cutoff mode would do. STUTTER then SHUT OFF

 

Happy New Year to everybody at Novak.

Big thanks for all the support your company has given the BRL and to all oval racers that need your help. Hope you have a great 2008.

 

XBR with 13.5 problem

I've checked that the lipo cutoff is off twice. The car cuts out coming out of turn two onto the front stretch as well as the glitching half way down the back stretch. It has no throttle or steering and coasts almost half way down the front stretch before recovering when it cuts out. It only happens once or twice a race and I usually finished the race. The car was also much more sensitive to erratic behavior when I put the antenna down, as if the receiver is not receiving sufficient voltage. Any other ideas?
