NOVAK Spy punch ?

With our new track mistakes are easy made an a reverse would be very usefull.

So I decided to take out my Helen ESC and mounted a NOVAK Spy which I had for years but never used. I noticed the car was accelerating a lot smoother. Nevertheless I did drive quicker because when I am stuck I can use the reverse directly and could finish the final on 2nd spot on 4 secs distance after qualifed 3rd with on lap distance with just a forward/brake ESC.

Anyone noticed the smooth power of the NOVAK ?

I will try a capacitor but I do not believe it will help......

Which version of the spy do you have............if its the older version then putting on a cap will help on throttle.

Are there more versions ?
How can I see that ?

Because the other ESC did give a lot of punch with which I believe it is prooven the voltage is OK. But I can give it a try with a capacitor.

Yes Novak came out with a newer version that will handle motors like the Speed 300 and some hot motors as well. Thats why on the older version it seemed to run better with the cap.
