Novak Ss5800 ?

RcHippie- I think you will like this system.

Here is the gearing guide.http://www.teamnovak.com/download/in...pecgearing.pdf
Here are the instructions. All your programming information will be here.http://www.teamnovak.com/download/in...port_Instr.pdf
When you get it switch out the Tamiya connectors for Deans connectors.

i would personally go with the new gtb 4.5 setup but have head great things about the ss5800. what kind of speed would you expect fron a 5800 in a st? how about a 4.5?

Although I haven't checked top speed, it's far more than I can use at my track with the SS5800 in my T4 using the Novak recommended gearing (I think it's an 18t pinion with stock spur).
My guess would be high 20s to low 30s, which is more than enough for just about any track with a 2wd truck.
The difference from the SS ESC and the GTB ESC is smoothness. Although the SS is at least "okay", the GTB is so much smoother. It's harder to notice off-road, but much easier to notice in high-traction on-road. You could put either the 4300 or 5800 on the GTB controller, as well, for a less-powerful motor that has smoother response. I have the 5.5 and it's WAY overkill, but when has that ever stopped us? :)

i have never heard of the 4.5 what are the stats like on it compared to the 5.5 i always thought that the 5.5 was overkill cant imagine how fast a 4.5 would be
