Hi,
Is the Novak T-4 ESC capable of running on modern lipo power?
Or is that asking for trouble?
I'd like to run period ESC and motor in my Yokomo 870c but I don't want to use period cells if I can help it.
I'm aware I'd need to be careful about not letting the lipos go under voltage, but is there any other issue?
Thanks.
I don't see any issue other than using a lipo cutoff for safety

I have a Novak 610 RV in my RC10T3 and was wondering if any of you gents have used Lipo batteries with it. I'm thinking of staying with brushed motors for now, but upgrading to lipos in the 7.4V range with about 3-4K mA. Any info is greatly...

any particular brand, mA I should look for? Again, thanks for the input gents.
Ive got a Novak Hammer Pro in my gold pan . will I be able to run Lipo with this esc :?: ? Thanks in advance

you should be able to run a 2S lipo in pretty much any esc, the only problem with the lipo is you need to either make sure the esc has a lipocutoff alarm, install a small lipo alarm, or pay close attention to the cell voltage.
I picked these up last week to experiment with. They didn't really cost much at all and they work :twisted:
I can program the Cyclone with my own custom parameters or use one of the 20 saved Novak sets to use as profile 4 on the Cyclone. Too bad I...

Wait, you have a computer with a serial port and diskette drive? :wink:

I have run my revived TC3 a few times now and just got a second, used RTR TC3 for my son that has been run a few times as well. Both cars have brushless motors and ESC's but are from the pre-LiPo era, so do not have low voltage cut off. My sole car...

Thanks for all of the testaments to successful LiPo use. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I get a few.
A small update on my son's Team Orion brushless motor thread repair. We ran the cars the other day and it was the first time that both...
I have a AE 5000 20C Lipo and I have a Hyperion EOSO606i charger.
I have a lipo that when I ballance it one cell at 2.91 and the other at 3.71. and it will not move off this #.
I decided its finally time to go lipo, my nimh packs are fading and instead of buying more i am just gonna make the jump. I have a novak havoc 3s esc and run a 17.5 and a 13.5 ballistic motor that i run in a rc10 team car. i will also be using the...

I'm a big Gens Ace fan, and have no issues at all with them. I have used and own a couple of Venom packs and one Thunder Power pack which perform exactly the same as the Gens Ace. But the difference is the Gens Ace are far less expensive....
I'm using a 2S LIPO on my REVO,to power the radio and the Losi R.O.S.S. remote start system (which works great,BTW!).
Couldn't resist putting a Sumitt rear bumper with red LEDs in it and I'm wondering if I could power those LEDs by tapping into the...

Why don't you run the lights off your reciever?
That is if you have an xtra channel port.

Ok I have a 2c Zippy 4000mah lipo with a Reedy brushed motor and an LRP V1 runner. I'm using a MRC 965 charger for balance charging. Also have a low voltage alarm. The combo worked flawless for last two weeks until today. I charged the battery for...

Ok guys figured out the problem. I had the deans plugs soldered backwards on charger and esc ,so the battery wires we're also plugged in backwards. Once I fixed my MRC charger balance charged for along time it eventually had both cells almost...
