CRT.5 - My first conversion

[jhautz]

Why not run the novak and at least see how it runs. You might be surprised. I remeber my old novak system used to rip pretty good. As far as the lipos you have.... I dont think thats gonna do it. Even parallel you are gonna toast those things. They are only good for 34 amps. You would be surprised how many amps one of those novak systems can pull. I ran a GTR 6.5 in a XXXt-4G+ for a while and that thing would spike to 75 amps on 2s. and that was with a WAY lighter buggy than the CRT.5.

IMO stick with the 6 cell packs you have now untill you can do it right. Stick $10 a week into the finger holles of your bowling ball untill you have the cash and then get some decent lipos. Take the $40 you were going to spend on those other lipos and start the saving with that.

Another option might be to sell that Novak on Ebay. Looks like they are getting anywhere from $120 - $155 depending on condition. Take that with the money you were going to spend on the dicount lipos and buy a MM 5700 (almost enough) and run it on the 6 cell packs you have. Then save up for your lipos.

And BTW.... Welcome to the forums.
