Default Tired of novak headaches what should i get?

I run a goat3 on 3s pack in my wraith, which other systems would give same power and crawlability as this does. It runs an 18.5 brushless now. Thankyou ive ran only novak for22 years so i know nothing about other electronics.

Mamba max pro is what I use on my honcho. They majority of my friends run them to. Still gives you drag brake(as long as you use the castle link) and it gives you tons of tuning options

Run the castle mamba max pro with your same 18.5 motor. The mmp has websites and should work well. Don't forget the castle link also, you will never want orange again.

I'm glad to be part of the inspiration for trying it

What doesn't your current motor do for you? At this point for raw power either the Holmes sensored outrunners or Tekin pro4 are the big boys in the game, in that order.

I've run/still run Novak in my 12th & 10th carpet cars and 10th dirt rigs and have been since the first ESC's came out.

For crawlers I use Castle Creation (various models) and Tekin FX-R's.
Anything can have an issue, but CC & Tekin work well for crawlers.

For a brushed/brushless ESC, I wouls suggest (as have others) a Castle Creations Mamba Max Pro.
-It runs a wide range of motors
-It handles a range of input power
-Great drag brake

Get a CC 10A BEC if your steering servo is over ~200inoz.
Get a CClink to program the ESC & BEC. Yes, you can program some of the ESC with your radio, but the CClink is easier & better.
