yes the lrp13.5 nonsintered does hang with novak13.5ss. i am the only one at my track with lrp setup and am just as fast as they are. my laptimes are slower due driver error but the motor pulls everywhere and on the straight no one pulls me at all. and i just put the sintered in it with the ceramic bearings and heatsink fan combo as well. should be faster now. this is foam carpet racing 10 second track
