The Novak Super Sport is a great Brushless motor to start out with. When running 6-7 cells it's pretty much as fast as other brushless systems. The other systems gain an advantage because they can run more cells than the Novak. On 6 cells I stay up with a buddy of mines 8t hacker brushless (on 6 cells) on the track.
It's not super expensive, nearly maintenance free, very fast and gives better run times than a brushed motor/esc combo of equivilant speed.
Set up is a brease if you read the instructions and having several different programs to choose from is nice as well.
In the past month I picked mine up and three other people I know have picked one up. The brushed set ups that everybody else was running were getting beat by the Novaks so they picked one up to keep pace.
It's a good purchase.
