LRP is the better speedo but Novak do better motors imo. I have gone LRP speedo and Novak motors personally.

you could always go for the Tekin R1Pro and a novak or lrp motor, pm Kev Lee or Spenner for more info, then there is no need for a heatsink or fan, and thats in 4wd.

X2.... Same here... LRP for the Speedo and Novak for the Brushless Motor... I tend to prefer the Light series ones

I ran mine in in a xx4 indoors and it came off after a 6-7 min run pretty much cold, the motor was only just warm.
