The HV4.5 system seems fine to me in my 8ight. It's far better than my mm/fiegao 9L and 8xl setups, which I couldn't stop from overheating. The novak is faster too and doesn't overheat very easily. The only thing I like about the novak conversion is that it wraps around the stator of the motor for the best possible heat transfer. Other than that, it's not versatile at all since you have to run novak motors, and you are forced to place the battery in awkward positions. In the end I chose tyco, which was my first rc car and had no issues whatsoever!
