I do not have this system, but my experience with Novak has been less than great. Mamba Max pro with a CC BEC and a tekin pro4 3300 is a great combo ( Dare I say the "perfect" combo), and has had much more success, IMO.

The only good novak thing I have ever had is brushless but I would still stay away and woul rather have the set up stated above because of the tuning via castle link, reliability and downright awesomness of that combo hope you have an upgraded drivetrain

Mamba Max Pro is the way to go, if you must buy a "system" check out the Tekin RS.

why do you want to go brushless in your wraith? are you looking for speed?
i have a box full of various brushed motors for my AX10 Ridgecrest and I just swap 'em in for whatever I'm doing: 12T for speed, 35 or 45T for crawling. it's dirt cheap to go this route since these brushed motors are like $40 max and rebuildable.
maybe I'm just old-school but i am still loyal to the old brushed motors...it's what i grew up with
of course i run tekin brushless RS and RSpro in my short course trucks and love them there.

Because a good system will do all the things each of those will do and do it better, for longer, and be more efficient at it.

Novak esc's are crap. At best! My last one went up in smoke 3 seconds after being switched on and after that I went Mamba Max Pro and will never go back!

I've had Novaks since my first RC10 in the late 80's. I like them. I have a goat on 2s in my scaler, an M2 in my berg and the new Eigor pro for my wraith. The only prob I had was with the M2 and that was taken care of with a software update. Take care of them and they take care of me. So I think your good.
