Novak for sure. The reliability is an issue as well as service. If the Novak fails you can have a new or repaired one back to you within 5 to 7 days.( This was my experience) That means not missing a race day the following week. The Novak doesn't cogg and I think the speed control is smaller. The Novak is also cheaper. You might not get quite the performance out on the Novak depending on what vehicle you put it in (Off road buggy doesn't need any more power that the Novak can produce).

What are you going to use it for?

The novak will be far superior for racing and stuff like that, the throttle control will be a lot better!

First of all, I would not buy a warrior, get something like a hacker master sport. This will end up costing over 300$, but you will have a lot more power, with 8 cells you can push practically any 1/10th scale rc to over 50 miles an hour, and on top of that, you'll have brutal torque.

The novak wont have that much power, but you will have the best costumer service around, and very fine throttle control.

I don't have any experience with the Lehner, so I can't comment on that.

I however do have a Novak and can say it's a great motor/ESC combo. The Novak has very smooth throttle control, plenty of power for a Buggy or ST and is very reliable.

I can also attest to the warranty service of Novak. I blew a bearing in my Novak SS and sent it in. I'm not sure if there was anything else wrong with the motor/ESC but I had a brand new motor and ESC on my door step 9 days after sending it in. If it's broke they will fix it or repair it.

With their customer/warranty service Novak has picked up a life long customer with me. If I decide to pick up an E-Max one of these days I'll pick up their new Brushless set up for it as well.

I highly recomend the Novak.
