Default novak problems?

Hey guys I was just wondering if any one has been having problems with any novak products lately? I work at the lhs and have seen three goat systems fail and a couple rotors that have desitiergrate into a million pieces all in the past few months.... just wanted to see if anyone else was having hell with them lately

I've been running a Goat for about a year with no problems what so ever.
In fact I've never even cleaned the motor which I will do soon.
There is a official Novak thread for problems and a couple of the Novak guys help with any problems we have here. It is actually a pretty popular motor ESC combo for rock crawling because of it's smoothness and torque there have been a tons of units sold so I'm sure there are a few red Herring stories out there.

Ditto on NAVAK'S support. Charlie is Top-Notch for support and knowledge. I also have about a dozen ESC's from the past and they all still work. Even from the t-1 and t-4 days.

Hey Redronin, sounds like you should give Novak a call regarding the problems you've been experiencing. They can't help you if they don't know whats going on. They are always ready to help.
