I personally prefer the nosram/lrp setups as the hall lead isn't hardwired into the back of the motor and isn't a mile long, plus it's all shrouded so it doesn't get tangled up in stuff. Also the speedo is a lot smaller, even with the heatsink and fan stuck to the top. I've done the same as Bormac has, soldering stubby corally tubes to the motor terminals and plugging the speedo into the motor. Hopefully in a few days my other motors will arrive and I'll have 4 brushlessesesess ranging from a 15.5 up to a 5.5 and with these corally connectors on the motors I can swop them over without unsoldering them. I managed to thermal my speedo this evening so I'll be investing in a heatsink with fan, I can feel a hole in the bodsyshell coming on though. I might have to see if anyone around here has a lexan vacformer, I can get a new body shell, fill it with plaster of paris, then add a few raised bits and scoops and stuff for cooling the motor and speedo (and batteries!!)
