I run a Novak gtb with a Novak 5.5 motor in my b4,

I would like to get another Speedo, as a spare,
Ideally another Novak gtb,
What I'd like to know is, if I can't get another Novak gtb then what is a good Speedo to get that is like the gtb and will handle the 5.5,

I don't want to spend too much and need some ideas on a popular reliable and cheap Speedo,

Thanks,

second hand GTB's should be dirt cheap now.
5.5 in a 2wd is pretty fast. Modern speedo's can advance the timing of the motors, so you can get similar speed from a 6.5
The hobbywing speedos are pretty much the best value out there. The 60A will handle a 6.5 in 2wd, but if you really want to use the 5.5 then you may be better off with the 120A version
