WARNING! Novak Brushless Systems

[markwilliamson2001]

Hey up folks,

This is not a complaint about Novak Kit in general, in fact I would recommend it to anyone! However, I bought a novak 6.5R brushless 'system' online (from a UK hobby shop). This was according to the Novak website to include a sintered rotor for the brushless motor. After gearing changes, much talk on here, 2 meetings and more research, I finally decided to pull the brushless motor apart to find out. Indeed, I was astonished to find out my 6.5R did not have a sintered rotor as was specified in the box and on novaks website.

Luckily when buying the system, I had bought a spare sintered rotor as well. I have now changed over the rotors, and the difference on the bench is astonishing!!

I have yet to try it in anger yet, but the future looks hopeful!

Just to let everyone know...
