I won't be coming to the UK any time soon, that would be nice though! So I am leaning away from any 8s due to compartment sizes and keep it level with the 91.2mph, other than motor pick. Any thoughts on the pletty biggmaximum? My last one was a beast on 6s

You're welcome over here any time Kev! - Hi Tony, BTW

Hmmm. Well batteries will always be an issue if you're going to use the standard E-Revo chassis / battery compartments. You might, ( Just! ) be able to get 8S in there if you used Revtech's Double Deuce LiPo's.

Don't know much about Plettenberg. When I researched them, they seemed overweight for the power and overpriced but a lot of people seem to love 'em.

Cheerz!

^Pretty much ditto. The Pletts are certainly quality motors, but they are rather heavy and large ( built-in heatsink )- a 1515 sized Neu is just as powerful and cheaper, and has a range of kv choices vs the Plett BigMaxximum which comes only in 2300kv flavour..

Well I have decided to go with the same one, 1515 1.5D, to keep it even with the champ then go from there.

So what about the extras when ordering a Neu? I want to go finned, what about the 10 wind adder and 8mm shaft? Worth it or even needed?

OoohKay! :oh:

5mm shaft is probably best - Easier to get pinions. Not sure about the 10 wind adder. The smooth can is $200 at Offshore Electrics.

Cheerz!

for a revo I think a leopard 5692 is a good election for arrive at 100mph .........

Really? How exactly would you make it fit in a revo?

Interesting point, Brian.

Also, the motor on the standard E-Revo is mounted quite high up so it's not a bad idea to have a light motor. The 5692 is a great motor but I can't help thinking that it would upset the handling.

Cheerz!

R:eyes:tz

of course will need make another optional motor mount and use very big pinions .... but if he put this motor on a revo is sure will have all the power need for arrive at this crazy speeds

another option is use a smaller motors same than the 4082 ...... but will have much lower power ......

is her decission .... :whip:

Is that you Miquel??

Sorry, putting a 5692 into a revo is a stupid idea.

I would worry about the rotor shattering at full throttle- that's a fat rotor, and given the rpm limit imposed by Castle for the 1717 & 2028 motors, the 5692 may not like 40,000rpms+ very much. A longer rotor seems preferable to a fatter one at these speeds, given a 1515 diameter & length is more than enough for 90mph.. :neutral:

Weeell, I s'pose, if you need something to worry about, that's as good a thing as any. :intello:

If you really want to go fast, though, there seems little point to me in looking beyond Neu ( as opposed to Neu/Castle) or Tenshock.

Sorry Brian? Did you say YOU THINK it's a stupid idea?

Personally, I feel that throwing yourself out of an aeroplane ( with or without a back-pack full of laundry ) is not a very clever idea. However, I wouldn't seek to criticise anyone who chose to suggest it, or, in fact decided to do it.

Then please actually explain HOW the 5692 is going to fit and WHY a motor of that size is needed?
Who is going to draw a diagram, with measurements, and show how the 5692 is going to fit, with its large diameter and length that will be too long to fit with the rear shocks in place in the e-revo (unless you don't need those)?

I will criticize those who constantly give advice that is impractical and unhelpful.

Rootzman, do you think the OP should go out and buy a 5692 and then try to fit it in a revo on the advice given in this thread? Please explain.


So please be specific - to clear the rear shocks and mesh with the e-revo tranny spur with this very large diameter motor - what size pinion would the OP need to make this work? Do you know? Can you provide a link to someone who has made this work?
