1/8th Scale Running Electric?
#36
The Novak system just runs way too hot (they were first useing it, but found it doesn't work that great). Also there is a person I race with that tried it, but they found that it took 3 fans just to keep it running for 10min, and if one fan failed the system got way to hot and shut off. And with the MM people are running for about 20-25 min at race pace (although they still need one fan as that system was made for 10th scales, and not 8th scales).

I have seen how the Novak system works in person, and I was talking with the guy's who race every other weekend (and I was watching them race, as well as racing 4wd buggy on sat.) Also I would say the electric 8th scale was mainstream in Ann Arbor, MI.



Also there are 3 guy's at my local track that might race out at LH some time next year (08) durring the current indoor season who have the electric 8th scales, and a few more that are buliding one. I will let you guy's know when we plan on making a trip out there to race (it will be on a sat as some of will run the other electric calsses as well) Wink
