Default Novak Goat 3s and brushless motor

Hi,
I'm new to the RC world so I'm learning through trial by fire at the expense of a lot of electronics. My question is have anyone out there used this system and how does it preform. I have a heavily modified axial wraith with rear steer and a dig kit. I currently use the Novak M2 dig ESC and a Novak 45t rockstar motor. I'm looking for more torque and speed due to all my upgrades. I have a very heavy rig. Also I'm having a lot of clutch slipping does any on have an idea of a good upgrade?

Thank you for help and information

I am running it and like it. I am using a 18.5t motor.

I was thinking of using that motor but, thought the 21 motor would give me more torque that I really need.

Have you tightened your slipper clutch? I've used both systems and I couldn't see a huge amount of difference in wheel speed or torque from 18.5 to 21.5. That said, they're good systems and a big upgrade.

With the clutch I have it almost bottomed out. As soon as I try to climb up like the wall it will start slipping. I will see if I can tighten it down more. And I'm glad to hear from some one that has the system and likes it. Is the hard to set up?

Maybe your slipper pad is worn out, or the plate is dirty so It's not getting good contact.

It's a new Robison racing clutch. I'm feeling like I'm getting some resistance through the drive train. I've ran it today and the motor smells like a burning smell. It was getting pretty hot so I shut it down.

Never had any torque issues, and no slippage.
