Novak 'L' motors..what differences will I feel?
For example..if I ordered a 5.5R and a 5.5L and raced them back to back..same cells..same gearing..same tyres etc etc..what differences would I notice in efficiency, temperature and feel whilst driving in a 4WD car?
I would presume that the bottom end of an L is lot tamer than an R? Making it better for low grip conditions where you are still required to have alot of speed??

In comparison, if a 5.5R feels like a 9x1, then the 5.5L feels like a 9x4. If I was running a 5.5R in my car, then went to another track which was slippier, in the past I would have gone to a 6.5R to tame it, but now we have the 5.5L I would be able to use this, and it becomes very driveable in low grip yet top speed is still as quick as the R. But, as it happens, I always find the 5.5R too aggressive for 2wd anyway so I run the 5.5L almost exclusively. Chris

Cheers for that fellas.
I actually had a good read of the Novak specs on the Novak site and the figures make alot of sence (kv and watts) Thanks for the explanation though

Is this to compensate for nitro destroying throttle control ability?

Whilst having my daily look at the homologation lists (waiting for the 08 cell list) I happened to look at the brushless motor list and the "L" motors are now legal!!!!
http://www.brca.org/BRCA/elecboard/n...s%20latest.doc Just thought it might be of interest to somebody

Arn't the 5,5R better for 4wd unless the track is really really slippy?

Have you read the thread? Both Dan and Chris (who are both Novak divers and have used the L's longer than most people) have said that they have found the L to be as good as the R at Worksop which is not 'really really slippy' and Chris said he may use it everywhere. So in answer to your question, No.

All the Novak motors are now sintered and have been for a while
It's only LRP/Nosram that are sticking with bonded rotors in their 5.5+ Dan I've run my 2wd with the 5.5L and 5 cells a few times now and it's just as fast, if not a bit faster than with 6 cells  I'm guessing the reduced weight and wheelspin let it accelerate quicker. It's as fast from mid-throttle as my 4wd with a 5.5R in
