LRP is the better speedo but Novak do better motors imo. I have gone LRP speedo and Novak motors personally.

you could always go for the Tekin R1Pro and a novak or lrp motor, pm Kev Lee or Spenner for more info, then there is no need for a heatsink or fan, and thats in 4wd.

Nosram all the way... For 4WD I'd opt for the 5.5t or maybe the 4.5t if you need insane speed.

As far as I know they're still bonded, although there are now 3 different sintered rotor to chose from as an upgrade to any current bonded motors you may have. 14mm / 13mm / 12.5mm

Tried a 13mm rotor on Sunday and it was simply awesome.
