LRP, Nosram, orion and Peak work by the same way. But the Mamba way is a rating which means X amount per volt.

A rule of thumb is that LRP & Nosram motors are rated 1 number higher than Novak. So an LRP 6.5 is equivalent to a Novak 5.5.

Also with Novak, there are 'R' and 'L' motors. The R is the main brushless motor which responds like a brushless motor should - very quick top speed, very quick aggressive acceleration. Where-as the 'L' is a Light version, and it accelerates a bit smoother.

So the R is like running a single wind brushed. The L is like running a triple or quad wind brushed. Top speed is the same.

So a 5.5R with Nimh's will be very fast, and a 7.5R with Nimhs will be steady and controllable.

a 5.5R with Lipo is crazy fast and faster than anyone will need, but 7.5R with Lipo is very fast and more controllable.

Hope this helps

Chris
