a 9mm maybe more practical but nothing puts a smile on your face like a Desert Eagle AE .50...and here in Arizona its legal to carry a handgun on your hip with no concealed weapons permit...just like the old west

Not to sound harsh, but trying to compare a novak motor to a neu is kind of like bringing a knife to a gun fight...

I see the benefit of the novak as a SYSTEM. Easy to use for the brushless newb, no soldering necessary, (unless you do not like tamiya plugs...gotta love novak for blessing the hv with those...) and powerful enough to not induce too much buyers remorse.

Honestly, does anyone here think a novak HV system (any of the winds) would be worth a crap in a heavy (+13lbs) monster truck? I know that the hv is fine in a buggy, and that is why novak are making buggy conversion kits. These systems are not powerful enough to get a truck moving at decent speeds (40mph min, you need more practice if you think this is too fast).

Plus, the HV does not have much adjustability, the new Pro is better, but a far cry from a MM or MMM. I like all of the adjustments CC offers, and know how to use them.

A HV setup will cost about 250-260. A MM and a medusa will be similar in price. The MMM/motor combo should be about 300. For the extra 40 bucks it is well worth it to get a more powerful, more adjustable setup (and the only option if you plan to run a heavy truck). Now, if novak dropped the price to around 200 it would be a great deal for anyone looking to race a 1/8 buggy, or have a mild bashing setup for a stock emaxx-erevo.

Here's my other collection
 

Pistols are on the door. Kel-Tek .380 on top, Glock Model 27 .40S&W below it. In the cabinet L-R is a Savage .223, Ruger 10/22, Remington 870 (rifled slug barrel, bird barrel is in there too), Winchester .22 pump action, and a Crossman 2100 classic air rifle. Below that in the small cabinet is enough ammo for all the guns to hold me down in the event of WWIII:lol:

I used to have Remington SP10 a (10 gauge shotgun rifled for a slug) used this for deer hunting, I had gone target shooting with it and cause some impressive damage to a watermelon...lol

Can't go wrong with the 870, tried and true gun in all forms.

I also love my glock 27 and would never trade down to a 9mm. I have pistols for protection and I want true stopping power. The glock design in and of itself is just pure genius. It is by far the simplest weapon I have ever had to break down and clean. In fact it is the only gun I own that I can completely strip down one handed. H&K's and Sig's are nice as well, but for me the bells and whistles just don't compare to the intelligent simplicity of the glock design.

Not sure about you Sammus, but I'm liking Australia right now. :yes:

If thats really your only concern then why not wire both inputs leads in parrallel?

Oh, and if this was the traxxas forum, you'd all be at 100% warning level :)

Through the circuit board both sets of leads are wired in series. Wiring them in parallel would cause a nice puff of smoke :gasp: :lol:.

The instruction manual for the HV esc does actually tell you how to wire it for use with a single pack. You could do that then use a series adapter so your drawing from both packs equally.

It's true, but then there is still a large excess of wiring, unless you short out that particular lead at the circuit board (voiding warranty I'm guessing) or cut the leads super short. A couple years ago I did the latter with my EVX (which is obsolete due to the likes of the MM).

Doh! :eyes:
I guess reading the instructions always helps :rules:
