Can’t you come up with your own ideas on the 1-8 scale conversion kits?

Bob, I would hardly call a machined motor mount that replaces the nitro engine mount, and a pair of battery boxes original- even when you guys released it. How about a conversion that changes the layout of the car between the front and rear gearboxes to best optimize the weight of the conversion to electric, rather than just swapping out what’s already there?

well so far caster is the only company to put engine up front and put two batts in back to try and optimize L to R balance..I also did a setup like this on a mantis a while back and it seemed to fly pretty level

Get them told Bob, why is you have all your ideas stolen and they never do a job as good as you anyway. from Craig Oates in England

Novak wasn’t the first to do a conversion like this. RC Product Designs has had brushless conversions for 1/8th scale buggies for years (even before Novak was producing brushless systems). Stop kissing ass. I run Novak stuff, but this nor Novak systems are remotely close to being innovative.
On another note, when is Novak actually planning to get on the bus and change their brushless motors to ahve replaceable sensor wires like everyone else in the business? It’s annoying as hell to have a 9″ sensor wire bundled up to connect a motor that sits 1.5″ from my speed controller (touring car). I’ve switched to other brands just for this very reason..

As others mentioned before. Absolutely not a original design, and nothing that will apeal to brushless insiders. I expect to see a lot of dissapointed brushless newbies when a ST is converted this way.
4s setup is a :-)
layout is a novak copy that already proved to be worthless…
front/rear & left/right weight bias is a real big :-)
When making a 1:8 brushless conversion kit bring something more professional.
I am waiting for the Option Team B.C.P. (Brushless Conversion Pro) by Fioroni. Have run a preproduktion model of a 8igth and 8igth-t and alle handling, weightbias, tuningoptions are like the nitroversion’s. Even Losi is behind. When converting a probuggy or protruggy it needs to be done on a way. No real fanatic wants a highend buggy or truggy to be converted to something that’s a step back into handling on the track.
