Hoorah, these are now unvailed. I've had a couple a while and they are proper good. Basically they are really smooth, almost exactly like a brushed motor. I still run the 6.5L nearly all of the time in my 2wd but find that the 5.5L is much more drivable in a 2wd where as any normal 5.5 is just plain bonkers.

I also like the blue

oooo, looking for new BL motor for a slippery track

[Richard Lowe]

Any idea on them getting into the shops?

The blue would go well in my BJ4 and it might be kinder to the tires (and gears ) than the 5.5R was at Batley ey' Dan?!

Dan do these motors still have enough punch for 4wd? i saw these on a us site the other day and tought they looked good. I have already got the novak velocity motors with the sintered rotos and ribbed can. They are very smooth my only complaint is the purple sleeve it dosent go to good with all the blue bits on my S4 and B4 problem now solved thanks novak

How on earth could you have kept that to yourself

is that 13mm rotor usefull for offroad ?

[super__dan]

These aren't exactly slow, but they are really smooth I think better for 2wd buggy all round!

I would imagine it would work just fine in a 4wd. I imagine on a slippery floor or say a wet track it would give much better power delivery and on a high grip track just be that less violent on acceleration

Probably suit my heavy right thumb then

In 2wd or 4wd, they just have more feeling to them all together, less aggression, less suprises. Oh and considerably lighter (20g) so there is that too.

as rich sed above... any idea when these will be in the shops??

[super__dan]

That's something I have absolutley no idea about, sorry.

Trying getting your shop of choice to ask (hassle) CML, or contact CML yourself I guess.

[Chrislong]

Update. *News flash*
Popular UK model shops have the L-range motors in stock and CML have a good supply of them so no issue in getting them.

Im expecting these to be VERY popular, I can't stress how good they are.

So.... who has one already, let us know what you think.

i was running a 6.5 in my bj4 at batley chris and liked it alot im gonna get a 5.5 to run in my 4wd and fit the 6.5 in my x6

[strobe]

Would the 'L' range motors work ok with an LRP brushless speedo

[Richard Lowe]

Yep they work no problem

Like Rich say, yes no problem.. All Novak motors will work with any other brand of sensorred speedcontrol.

[Mike Hudson]

Great so which would be best for 2wd a 5.5 or 6.5?

[Richard Lowe]

I want to try a 5.5L for 2wd as the 6.5R has too much torque and not enough top speed for me in 2wd. I think Chris runs 5.5L in 2wd and Dan 6.5L?

[super__dan]

Oh Rich, you're sooooooo out of touch

I was running a 6.5L but have now upped it to the 5.5L and it's just about perfect!

[Richard Lowe]

I knew Chris was man enough for the 5.5 but wasn't sure about you
