|  novak m2
Has anyone here in the omaha area used the novak m2? The reason i'm asking is i'm considering using it. I don't think i want to deal with all the wiring with 2 escs. If anyone has used it: how do you like it? Do you have all the adjustments you need? I would like to hear all input, both good and bad. I have two novak escs. The goat i have quit working over the winter just sitting on the shelf. The Rooster i am currently using has given me no problems at all. And thats running 3s with no lipo cut-off

Joe had one. I think he did't like it. Maybe he will chime in. I have heard good and bad with them.

I had one and sold it i really didnt care for it . The drag brake was weak and it would not get along with my bec. If you are going to use the novalink you must have an older computer with a 32 bit processor it will not work with 64 bits so programing it is a pain i tried using just the buttons on the m2 but it was just not for me . I also have used Novak products for years so it was very disappointing. I would say go with fxrs or a punk dig and mamba max

Search M2 in the electronics section and you will find the answer. I chimmed in quite a bit on that ESC and deemed it a turd. FXR's or Castle products are the ESC of choice pretty much. I run dual FXR's, but I also run an FXR/Punk Dig combo in another rig. Both work really well. There is another vendor making a dig unit that's much cheaper and better profile, If the Punk ever gives out, I'll be getting one of them. As far as the ESC issue goes, the FXR is very tunable even with using the led's, I've had Castle ESC's but for crawling, I'll never use anything but the FXR. Space and weight are important. |

thank you for the input. Sounds like the m2 is not the direction i'll go. So i can use one fxr and a punk and have front and rear dig?
