However 3-6s would be a nice touch and pretty much corner esc's for a while... | |

What is the ETA? I see Amainhobbies posted it up on their site. You get a response on on the "400" sized lower turn motors on 2 cell? I might go 3 cell and some 35t 540 sized. Just have to see what shakes out with the specs. Cause I don't want to blow one up on 3s if the spec says 2cell and then not get it warrantied. Last edited by Szczerba; 10-20-2009 at 10:49 AM. |

If we change the M2 spec to 3S, it will be "official" and the M2s would be covered by our warranty. We will be shipping the controller/system in November. | |

i assume thats really hold brake not drag brake, just like a my goat has 10 settings for drag brake but has none only hold. maybe i'm wrong, maybe they figured out we drive these things downhill to.

Why only 55T motors in the combo kit? Or will there be other motors later on? Having this, the rx, and a battery on the skid is just awesome... |

| I like the idea but novak needs to catch up. No one is running 2cells and 55t anymore. Minimum is 3cell, 45t and I'm thinking 5 cell, 20t isn't too far off.

Howdy Folks, I had a chance to operate the M2Dig for 4 whole days while I was working the Novak Booth ath the I Hobby Expo last week. While I didn't have a chance to get out on the rocks with it, here's how it works, and works well in my opinion. You can use it just like an ESC/Dig Switch combo. So you have Front Rear Dig from a 3pos switch. OR, you can use it to have F/R Dig, PLUS motor Biasing. You setup your radio with one 3Pos Switch to do the dig, and ONE switch as a Linear Trim Pot on the Aux Channel. So you can Dial in more Clod Stall (IE Free Wheel), or Dial out Clod Stall completely while you drive. Basically, as you're driving you can tap the Linear Adjust switch to reduce power to F/R motor. If you loose count of how many "clicks" you put in, Simply DIg that same side On/Off and everything is back to normal again. It really is super easy to use. Novak Two- I'm patiently waiting my very own M2Dig...... |

Novak just cannot see that most like 3S or some even 4S. This system sounds interesting and I would be interested in trying it out but not if I have to back down to 2S. I'll stick with Castle.

After reading all the specs. and seeing the video of it working at the hobbie show am really impressed with this new Novak Product, Being a Novak fan for over 5 years all my cars run on Novak. My only question is after looking at the specs I have the same question as pretty much everyone on here is this going to be a 2S or 3S system? I see no sence in only making it it 2S when you guys have already brought out a 2S-3S ESC. Here are specs for anyone that has not seen them and a Video of the system working on a Rig Enjoy.
