When we discontinued the 4.5 HV Pro motors, we took back a lot of them from distributors---we are goods guys.:lol:

So, we had all of these 4.5s in our motor mfg department collecting dust. Then Jay Halsey and Bob started looking for some system for the Ofna SC and decided on the Havoc Pro/ HV 4.5 Pro motor. They seem to be doing well with this combo.

This is why we are combo-ing this up for sale. We OEM these 2S Combos to NitroHouse. Many of the other SC vehicles do not seem to have room for this longer 550 motor, so this may be a limited market, but this set-up seems to be winning races.

We can always reactivate the store listing if we see a demand.

The high torque and cool running on 2S makes the HV4.5 the ideal 4WD 1/10 scale SC motor. I have one in my Jammin SCRT10 and one on the way for my Slash 4x4. Not certain how a Ballistic 550 would compare, but if you need a tester...;)

Post your experience of mounting the HV motor in your Slash 4x4; I thought the motors would be too long.

Where are you located?

the HV motors fit great with no mods needed:yes:

larger motors, such as CC/tekin, also fit good:wink:

my experiences with a 4.5hv is that gearing is not an issue anymore, I could put any pinion I had on and it would still stay cool(less warranty work:wink:).

my 6.5 just came today. I will be putting it in my slash 4x4 until my scrt10 comes. Then I think it will be time to sell a slash P.E roller.

Let me know when you do!

I always thought 4s was too much for that wind, on 2s i see where it can run lots better. With the larger size of the sc trucks (even the 2wd's), i see where the hv motors will be good. I didn't want my last post here to say i hated Novak, I started with them and like them to this day, Just thought the hv was slightly over it's head in the MT wars

novaktwo, you mentioned a ballistic 550 on rctech, i'm looking for something to replace my 5700 after it burns up in my hyper 10sc, eta?

We originally developed the 550 motor for the E-Maxx, long before there was any 1/8th racing. Once guys wanted to race 1/8th electric, these motors were simply overpowered. This is why we discontinued the 4.5 version HV. The 4.5s work great on 2S in the 4x4s.

We will probably announce the Ballistic 550s soon. We are doing some additional tooling, so shipping will depend on getting all parts in house.

Jeff, I'm pretty sure they run the 3mm shaft though. I looked at em but dont know if I would want the torque of a 4.5 in my SC with that small shaft. You know better than me though.

We originally built our HVs with the standard 3mm shaft, but redesigned the rotor featuring the 5mm shaft size; the 3mm was not beefy enough for heavier vehicles. Our HV 550s are priced at 99.99.

I was speaking of the Trinity motor. I have your 4.5HV and it is perfection in 4wd SC! Thanks for bringing it back. What will be different with the 550 ballistics? I have never used one. Is it mainly the ability to rebbuild with different winds and rotor?

The performance should be pretty much the same; it will allow the same timing adjustments as our 540 Ballistic (in fact, both motors use the same back end bell, bearing, and timing parts. Also, the shielded replacement harnesses and sealed socket.

We make "Frankenstein" 550s by adding the Ballistic parts listed above to our HV 550s. Here is the exploded view of our 540 Ballistic:

We can offer 550 replacement parts including wound stators, which may not be as easily damaged as the 540 stators.
