lincpimp · **Possible Hyper 7/Novak conversion -** 02.03.2008, 12:16 PM

Just throwing out some ideas here, let me kno what you think!

So I have a HYper 7 roller sitting here, brand new and waiting for some brushless power. I also have a mm, ccbec, 2 trakpower lipos, and all the radio gear. Instead of the usual feigao motor, I would like to try the novah hv6.5 motor. Kv is a bit high, but on 4s it tops out around 45k rpm, which should be ok as the novak motors are made well. Gearing would be 11/46, so slightly under 40mph. I would also buy novaks mount kit, as it sounds interesting.

Any thoughts on this? The buggy should be reasonably light and novak's site says that the supply a pair of battery trays. I will wait to se the actual layout before I buy it though. I would also do the 5mm shaft upgrade, as people seem to snap the 1/8 shafts off.

Another issue is how well will the MM run the noavk motor? I know that the recent firmware updates make it a better esc. Will my combo of low gearing and light weight (hopefully!) help this?
