Ran this motor for the first time yesterday. It has more punch and more top end over the Novak I was using. Ran my fastest lap by 0.3 last night. Great motor.
It does seem to run 20 degrees hotter than the Novak. I noticed my Novak motors cool down after they have been run for a while. Will the reedy cool down as it breaks in? It didn't overheat but it got up around 150 with one spot temping at 160. The Novak ran around 130 with a hot spot of 145.
