LRP doesn't go by the turn count like Novak does. They give info on what it would be equal to if it were a brushed motor.

1 star = 13 turn
2 star = 11 turn
3 star = 9 turn
4 star = 7 turn
5 star = 5 turn

I don't know if that will help you but that is what the specs are based on for the LRP.

Not really, I was wanting to compare them to the Novaks.

I have heard rumors that the original Neo One (3 star?) is a 6.5 turn.

.....Just wanted to shed some light into the LRP Star rating, since this is no longer a secret...

1-Star = 8.5t
2-Star = 7.5t
3-Star = 6.5t
4-Star = 5.5t

I just checked my Reedy Neo-one (original 6.5 turn) with an ohmmeter and discovered that it DOESN'T have a temperature sensor in it. Assuming that the new ones don't either, this would explain why I've seen Reedy motors with temperatures above 200° without shutdowns. (It might also explain why I've seen several of them explode their rotors.:eek: ) Has anybody else checked their new "star series" motors to see if they have a thermistor connected between pins 1 & 5?
