I am planning to order a Novak Super Sport brushless system soon for my T4. I also plan to get dean's connectors along with it. Currently I have 1 1900maH battery. Will these give me any decent run times or should I just plan to order some GP3300 batteries to go along with the system? Also since my truck started life as a RTR, I still have the Aitronics Blazer radio, should the radio and Novak get along well?
Before I install the system I plan to replace the stupid RTR bushings in the transmission with the team bearings.
Any other last minute advice?
Thanks

Radio should be ok, I'm using a traxxas radio with mine. As for the battery, You may want some GP3300s so you get a lot more punch and runtime. The 1900s should do ok for the time being though. Deans connectors are the way to go from what I've heard, still gotta get mine... :o You may want to invest in a small 5 volt DC computer fan to help keep the ESC, since the ESC runs hotter than the motor (which is normal). :)

The radio will work. Although I would say I like the upgrade the radio gave me. I went to a jr-xs3 synth. The 1900 will work. You will love the time and punch from some 3300's. On a large track I can get about a 10-12 minute run time. As for the fan it may not hurt but I have run mine without a fan with no problem. I had to put vent holes before and after the Novak It allows the wind to go through the body easily. The exit path helped the most.
