[RC-Monster Mike]

Ryan runs a big motor, which makes the pinion/spur LOOK small. The Novak systems are pretty decent. They are more powerful than stock and get a better runtime with near zero maintenance. The systems most on these forums runs are a little more extreme in the power department (well, Ryan's is a LOT more extreme in the power department). The Novak systems are pretty good, and smooth, but in terms of pure power, most of the setups here will easily outperform the Novak.
