u need a new speed control, but the novak comes with the controller. i would suggest a fm radio so that at speed u dont have any glitches

[Odddude]

It says it comes with a ESC but not with a radio.. im guna be mounting it on a Traxxas Rusty.. i will use their stock radio.. will that work?

[mj_bandit]

Yes, that would work fine, Im getting the SAME exact system,for my BANDIT.. gonna get a FM system,Steel Idler gear,Hardened Differential Gear,TRY to find CVD's for it, and that should be it.
:D thats over 300$ but,

[Sparx]

I have it and loves it! Outaccelerates all 12:s at races and about the same top speed.

Mounted in my T1 EVO2

Actually won the race where this pics whre taken :)

[Odddude]

wow.. nice! so all u do is buy it and install it into the truck/car?

[Bob Ebophalus]

yep

[Odddude]

wow.. thats easy.. but dont i need thoes pinon gears or somthing.. whatever they are called?

[Odddude]

i was just looking at www.brushless.owns.it and they said " The controller is the most important part of the Brushless motor "Combo". "

now.. will they include a "controller" in the Novak Brushless System?

BTW the "controller" for the brushless is kinda like a computer that does somthing.. and is not the thing u control the car with, right?

man i need more info on this..

[DualBL]

wow!
someone looked at my site!?!?!
now how about joining the forums:p

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDDD7&P=7

see that orange thing on the right?
that's the "controller"
the brushless controller is the equivelant* of the ESC to brushed motor.

OHHHHHH... damn i am so clueless.. if i was going to put this system on a rustler.. what gearing would i need..?

BTW how come when i go to videos or pictures in the multimedia section it doesnt work?

[mj_bandit]

ERRRRRRRRRR... O I want that system so bad:(
:mad:

[DualBL]

the video's and pictures section doesn't work, because I don't have enough web space for all the pics and vids (500mb+)
still working on it tho...

Or should i stay on stock gearing settings?

[DualBL]

with novak, it's recomended you gear it for a stock motor.

[crono man]

the novak system is a no brainer to install and get going one of the nicest packages for cars and truck that use 6or7 cells.

plus it has 6profiles with reverse(always fun when your bashing) but you can turn off the reverse for racing situations.

also you dont need a special transmitter with the novak system(but a fm radio is better then am),trust me its really easy to setup and get going it comes pre-wired out of the box!

for the gearing ratio novak recommends a 12;00 final gear ratio for stadium trucks(you can their gear ratio chart on their website under product info update)

hope this helps!:)

[Odddude]

Hmm.. i looked at that website and didn't find anything on the Rustler.. plus i don't really understand what 12;00 means.. i hate being a newbie.. UGH

[Bob Ebophalus]

12:1 means that the motor will turn 12 times for every 1 turn of the tires

you wont find specific info on how to gear the rustler but it tells you how to gear a stadium truck,which if im not mistaken the rustler is.

now for the final gear ratio and how to calculated it..

1)go here and get your final drive ratio
http://www.traxxas.com/support/troubleshooting/expanded/trouble_exp_e_motorsgears.htm
(i think its 2.72 for the rustler)

2)divide the number of teeth on your spur gear(that the big gear outside the transmission on the right side of the truck) by the pinion gear(that the gear attached to the motor)

now multiply the number you got from 1) by the number you got from 2) and you have the final drive ratio which should be very close to "12.00" in order to gear the rustler correctly for the novak brushless

dont hesitate to ask more questions:)

ok.. does towerhobbies sell gears? if so.. can u link it to this site..?

I have to ask again since my thread was close to getting on page 2..

[mpower7477]

yeah towerhobbies sells almost everything. Just do a search for Pinion Gear or Spur Gear and there ya go :p

[Odddude]

What should i write in the search box.. the gear ratio?

[Odddude]

Hmmm.. where should i ask this question so someone will answer it? Maybe in the Traxxas Fourm? Or somthing?

[SixVi6-Camaro]

buy a set of different pinions.. try them until you get a gearing you like. its not hard. robinson racing sells packs of pinions. it will work fine with a stock setup.
