Default I wish

my dream esc would

run 2 motors that would act as servos do. In that they would fight to hold position when they are not active and match each others speed to eliminate clod stall in a moa. Like when two servos are on a y harness.

also built in dig(proportional and full)

My experience runs about the same as The Violators did several years back with the novak super duty. It failed twice and I barely got them to replace it the firs time, I didn't bother the second after the experience the first round.

Castle on the other hand stand behind their product as does tekin.

Volting up is the way to go. Higher voltages with lower amps netting the same power means cooler running components and more efficiency.

The other benefit is not dealing with Bob's useless wife novaktoo, or two, or whatever beating you over the head on forums because you actually had issues with their products.

Thanks again guys, i personally appreciate you guys taking the time, this echos a lot of what some of the emails are leading us to as well.

There is no doubt that there is a need for us to offer higher voltage escs. We will. Promise! Just don't ask me when.

Tomorrow project is some videos of my truck in operation. Im almost wanting to go back to the shop and get my truck, but burgers are calling. Tomorrow!

If you have had a bad Novak experience, please shoot me an email with your info and Ill see what I can do. Csuangka@teamnovak.com I can't make any promises, but I can look into it.

Thanks

Good point. I was a little all-encompassing in my statement wasn't I.

Still, I'd venture to say a good majority of people run at least 3s. It'd be interesting to do a poll and find out for sure...

Howdy Guys.

So it never rains in Southern California, unless I want to drive my Scaler.....


So here's a video of the Timbuk2, going slow across my carpet. The ticking is the gears, the beeping is the motor.

Slow - YouTube

I'll make some more of it doing full speed passes tomorrow if it dries up a bit.

Alright now can you show it doing a smooth crawl like that up a incline? Just to see how it does on there

Thats not too bad...pretty damn good for a brushless system actually. What gearing are you using?

How easily will it stall? If you nose it up against the wall and ease into the throttle will it just sit and scream or try to drive into it?

btw: has my poll given you any insight into voltage requirements?
