I have the Mamba Max 5700 an goes like a 10 double with a fraction more accelaration but thats undergeared and not legal, so what is your opinion on the LRP/Orion motors?

Sorry for the reply James, I meant to reply and then forgot.
I am fortunate enough to be sponsored by Novak Electronics now so my views may be biased. I run the GTB speedo and Velociti brushless motors (6.5 2wd and 5.5 4wd). It's difficult for me to say how pleased I am with these, they are proper ace. My 5.5 in 4wd on the weekend was rediculous down the straight (as were others) and I had a smile on my face all practice.
It's not that brushless is faster than brushed cos you can buy as much speed as you want in any car, it's the total absence of maintenance. If a brushed motors gets hot it might need a skim and brush every run or regular anyway through the day. Brushless, as long as it doesn't thermal just let it cool and you're away again. In Belgium you could just run the car continously as it never got that hot!
I don't want to send this down the Blue vs Orange route, I do believe though that Novak motors (and speedos) are VERY reliable indeed as several of the people in my region who have borrowed my 7.5 when their motor has died on them can testify.
Orion motors look good but I have no experiance with them.
Servo wise I usually run KO still but have borrowed a slightly slower (deliberatly) Airtronics to try in the 2wd as the 0.06 KO was too much I felt.
