Does the novak 410 ESC has a motor limit?? Will it handle an 11t trinity speedgems Topaz motor??

Thanks in advance.

Which 410 do you have? Is it a M5, M1, M1c, MXc, or HPc? With an 11t motor, you should be ok as long as its not the M5, which is the sport model and should only be able to safely handle 14-15+ turns, especially if using today's high capacity packs.

I have a 410 M5 and I ran a 12x2 for YEARS with no problem. There was never a turn rating on it back in the day.

Oh darn, I have an M5, I guess I can always use the 19t chameleon that I have.

And slap the GTX if I want to run the Topaz.

thanks guys

Don't those have cut-off etc? I thought you could just try and if it doesn't handle the motor it will just shut off before it gets into a problem?

The point about the batteries is a goo done though, the old specs don't count for batteries with triple and more the capacity of the early days.
