| novak 18.5t/4s
Can the novak 18.5t brushless crawler motor (not the new ballistic model) handle being connected to a 4s lipo, in conjunction with a mamba max 1cell? thanks for any replies. |

it should handle it since at full voltage it would run under 50k rpm. IIRC the silvercan crawler motors kv rating is 2700kv which when running a fully charged 4s lipo would be a bit over 45k rpm which to be honest is dang fast, that fast enough to make my 4wd buggy go about 35mph which is only a bit slower than its current set up of 3s lipo w/ 4400kv motor. what will you be running this in? |

Thanks for the info benoj, I was going to try it in my lcc, but looking at your calculations it may a little over the top, 3s probably being sufficient. Still, I'd like to see the look on berg/xr10 owners faces as I shoot past them at 35mph |

well you losi wouldnt do 35mph that would be CRAZY. but i ran that motor in my old losi on 3s and it had plenty of wheel speed and decent torque, i never really felt i needed more.
