Default Novak Fifty five vs. Novak 55t Terra Claw

Is there a difference between the Novak Fifty-Five and the Novak 55t Terra Claw motors?

LOL oops ment to say the terra claw was junk lol

the claw is a basic "stock" motor, good for a while, but not rebuildable, usualy prone to break faster, "disposible" motors as i call it, go with the Novak Fifty Five, alot more dependable..

The Terra Claw seems to be like a budget motor, it's a sealed end bell motor that doesn't look like it's rebuildable.

The Fifty-Five is more of a performance motor as it is rebuildable.

I don't have experience with the Terra Claw, but I do have the Fifty-Five in my H2 and it works awesome considering the weight of the rig.

Do you know where I could figure out how to rebuild my Fifty-Five?

Those springs might work, but I don't know for sure. Trinity Purple springs will fit but I haven't tried them myself.


Also, it seems Novak no longer makes the Fifty-Five anymore, it has gotten replaced by this motor:
