I have one, I love it, 0 problems, its a blast! But... Novak has some compitition coming. LPR is coming out with a brushless esc and it can run both brushed and brushless motors. Its about the same price as the novak ss esc. Plus if you want the novak ss motor you can run it with the LPR esc. Its an awsome thing... I would get that before I would get a novak ss again. PLUS! Novak is coming out with a new brushless motor system that will be more powerfull than the novak ss and it will have fixed all the problems that the SS had/haves. I would wait a lil' bit and get a look at the new brushless motors out there. (I would realy look that the LPR brushless/brushed esc)

i read somewhere else ( here or another forum) that the lpr system was almost 300 bucks just for the controller, then another 100++ for a motor....[]

Spun the shaft out of the armature part way on mine with less than a dozen runs on it.Sent it to Novak last week for warranty consideration. I'd heard somewhere that this was a problem with early production units so we'll see how the new one holds up once I get it back before I bless or dam them.

Hope this helps

I'm hoping the LRP esc will be around 190 street price, but we'll see.

So the problem was not with the system then?
