a friend of my dad is going to the u.s. and we want to buy brushless for my creeper so i want to know if the goat 18.5 will be good for the creeper or that it will be too big, strong or what ever.

the NOVAK ROOSTER CRAWLER AND 55T MOTOR is fine just put a 19tooth pinion. id sugest going to some sort of a HS 7955 or higher servo with a CASTLE CREATIONS B.E.C. unit. id suguest getting a 3cell lipo, it will very much increase the power. id sugest maybe going with a 1000mah 40c 3cell lipo with a nice biult in balancer charger and and u would need a NOVAK 3CELL LIPO SMART STOP, so u dont burn up the esc and your battery.

I'm running a novak rooster esc, novak 45t motor, 19 tooth pinion and a 2s lipo. I have alright speed and great crawling power. I'd say for you to keep your rooster, go to a 3s lipo battery & bec and a 35 t motor.

u dont need a 35t motor a 45t motor is more than enought with a 19t pinion. im running a 30t holmes hobbies motor on a 3cell lipo with a axial trans and im bracking alot of things.

theclimber · 11-09-2011, 02:05 PM

um the 7955 and the 5955 are the same just the 5955 is the older version its works fine

get a bec and put a 19t on it with 3s i ran my rooster with a 3s with no cutoff and it was fine cuz the reciver i have cuts it off if the power drops to low it will get warmer with 3s but wont hurt it

okay i didnt know that

i would still get the cutoff unit just to be safe.

troyd · 11-09-2011, 05:25 PM

I agree with the need for cutoff, I have had really bad luck killing LiPo's

asw27x · 11-09-2011, 07:50 PM

i agree get the cutoff

SledRig · 11-09-2011, 10:07 PM

I run the early Novak Goat with the 18.5 motor. It works great with the stock pinion.

I have broken two axle pinions, but I was in some bad binds and tried to power out.

If I could buy another one, I would have gotten the newer Goat 3s so I could run a 3s lipo.

The motor is a bit notchy at slow speed, but never to the point of breaking traction.

I ran the novak goat 18.5 system on my creeper with no issues for over 2 years. Just make sure you upgrade the drive shaft or if you get in a bad bind, you'll snap the drive shaft almost every time. Punisher shafts will be key. Aside from that, it is a great set up! If I were to do it again though, I would get the 21T Balistic. Just make sure you gear mesh is perfect, if it's too loose you'll strip the gears under hard bashing. Keep that gear box greased!!!
