I have never done anything with Novak. Not saying they are not good, just never used them. I have used AE several times in the past, and will continue to do buisness in the future. I know AE makes great products,unlike Losi product, (had to rant), and I know AE aftermarket, oem, and factory team stuff is all great. IMO, I would use AE just because they are familiar to me.

Oh, and on the brushless thing, I am loving my VXL, but I am sure that is not what you are looking for. I hear great things about castle, and depending on the size of the track you intend to run should determine the motor size. My local offroad track a vxl would fit the bill very well.
