Spending way too much time on the internet looking at rc stuff and you will eventually find all kinds of interesting things.

These motors look to be copies (clones) of Novak motors ?

Im not one to shy away from chinese products, Lipos, Hobbywing speed controllers (which does not copy anyone)but I dont think I have ever seen a more blatent rip off of another companies property.

I bet Novak would like to see these.

odds are whoever makes motors for novak just released some under thier own label, or sold it to someone else.

most of this kind of stuffisn't actually made by the big name companies. they just design stuff (sometimes) and get bids from manufacturers (in china) to make the stuff.

I thought Novaks products was made in the USA ? Funny thing is by the time you get it shipped here you could buy a Novak motor lol.

Novak-developed brushless motors are completely rebuildable, hand-wound at the Novak factory, and are sensored-based for maximum performance and reliability.

Oh i see, it's a blatant rip off because the can has ridges....

it looks similar so it must be identical...

looks to be more feiago stuff to me, they have had several sensored systems in the past, they make more than 10 differnt style escs for something like 17 different companies worldwide, probably 30 or 40 companies have brushless motors made by feiago under a different name. Novak is not one of them.

They even copied novaks motor chart.

Not just because the can has ridges. In my opinion it is suspicious looking at best.

Considering how HPI stuff is only rebadged Castle Creations, maybe Novak has done the same thing.

Who cares as long as it works?

How about we wait until somebody actually USES one before we pass judgment. I remember people saying Hobby King was nothing but junk.

SyCo_VeNoM

pointless even is 1000 people say its a great motor if one fails then the ones who paid full price from novak will be like SEE THERE ALL JUNK like they do with most of the lower priced RC things.

Let the original poster be the guinea pig.

SyCo_VeNoM

agree for $14 more than that motor I could get a 60A HW setup shipped to me lol

And is it me or are the whole turned motors look like relabeled HW 35A motors. Hell its even a 380 motor in it...

FoamyVictim

Check out this chart,(says Balistic on top) it even mentions compatibility with Novak systems, so this could be a novak clone. They look allot like Balistic motors.

Thats what I have been trying to say. I would be shocked if the quality was the same but sill it has all the looks.

The OP is going to try one just because you never know.

There is a thread on another forum that discusses these with comments from an engineer at Novak.
Also just a little info, Novak makes their own stuff, NOTHINGis made by some other manufacturer and relabeled Novak. If anything, these Inix people copied a Novak motor.

I would believe this motor is just a copy.
In my opinion Novak makes excellent motors and the Ballastic is one of the best.

But there is one of these Inex motors coming to the states and will be glad to open it up and compare them.
