novak mongoose
 

What are peoples thoughts on the system and is it as reliable as there big brother the gtb?

As, it seems, with any electronic item that comes out the first batch saw a few returns but that was over two years ago now.

In my view as good as the GTB I still have.
My Mongoose system is still going strong after 18 months.

Yeah its pretty good... I had one with no gremlins.
Some people think that the brakes are a little weak, so some go for small micro 10th speedos, with the timing advance turned down to zero.
I run a Tekin RS, but others the LRP SXX et al.

I think it is the best for micros today, noone can show up that feeling that sensor gives us :). The break are little weak as Mark says..

I was told not to get the Mongoose by those in the know because of the brakes. Should hopefully get my lrp nexxt40 tomorrow, and will be able to see if that measures upto it's big bro, the spx.

if you could tell me the height of the lrp once you get it i would be greatful too. althought the footprint is a little larger than the novak.

Also if any of the mongoose drivers could tell me the height of them too? as novak don`t advertise the height in there spec charts

Or should i just stick with the Orion vortex 18th system?

Cheers Simon.

According to the gubbins I got with it, it measures 28.5 x 40.3mm, which isn't what you asked for, but at a guess, I'd say about 10mm, definitely the smallest speedo I've ever ran.

Just to add, I've got this as I've got the SPX, and been told that this is just a smaller version, so it suits my driving, and I don't have to alter anything for a different car. My style is quite aggressive though, and with brakes that actually work, I can brake a lot later for the corners, but I think I might be buggering my rear diff up quicker than I would normally as a result.
