I've got 2 novaks, a 5.5R, and a 6.5L.

They look great . They haven't ran yet though, so I can't comment on that!

I've ran a Nosram Dragon 10.5 for a good few meetings too. I like it, but it is clearly underpowered against brushed modifieds and brushless mods.

Talking Very Happy.

I used a Novak 5.5L in my 4wd yesterday. Impressed and very happy with the performance and speed of it.

LRP VECTOR X11 6.5 bonded in 2WD - as Mick Cragg would say - "Bonded is the future" - if I want more ponies I drop in a 6.5 (bonded)

LRP VECTOR X11 5.5 bonded in 4WD - 4.5 sintered just for fun and southport

Slightly off topic but while we have the LRP guru here i might as well ask.

I tried my NOvak GTB with a LRP 6.5 in my b4 the other day it was geared on a 20t pinion with kit spur (81 i think)

It had good speed and felt really nice till it stopped the motor cogged a little then did nothing, any ideas? I doubt it thermalled as i drive like a woman and ran a 5.5 in the states in the bj4 without a fan on the gtb and it was ok.

I took out the sensor lead made sure it was clean but no change??
