Lehner 1950-5, 22.2V LiPo, 4400mAH, 66A Nominal
 

I'm waiting for the arrival of the 1950-5 Turn... I wonder if it would power my beast?

beast is 13lbs, all alloy
10cm Hardened Stainless CVDs
8 spyder gears... Ultramax Tranny...
1/4 scale 350 oz/inch servo
1" extended
3" overall widening...
22.2 Volt Li Po 4400mah 66Amps nominal 132Amps max...

I should've never sold my stuff last year.. I ran Dual 1930-9 turns with 2 sets of 18 cells.. that thing was fast... and I had 2 40.160's on it....

I wonder how fast this 1950 will go.. worsts comes to worst.. I'll get two of them.. :)

Anybody has this motor?..
Thanks for the input...

Your 6s pack will take you to about 55-60 mph tops. It ain't the motor, but your battery limitations.

8s 3500 Polyquest 12C/16C packs barely got me past 60 mph last spring and they're the same C rating and size. I'm going 10s 4400 packs. Hopefully, I'lll just "cruise" along at 60 mph.

What if I parrallel 2 6S packs.. 8000mah... 48 amps nominal..

so I'd have 22.2volts at 96 amps Nominal...

that's over 2100 watts...

but I guess 60 mph is good...

Would this do the trick...?

Now you'll easily go to the 60's mph with that setup... AND have long run times to boot! I'm not sure if you really want to take an emaxx much faster than 60 anyways. Mine kept on bouncing off curbs and got airborne easily and those stock tires start getting real tricky above 50, let alone 60.

My experience with Lipos above 2000 watts is limited though. I've gotten my lipos to about 1800 watts (I didn't want to blow up those expensive batts). I test them first using eagletree to make sure that the load isn't too high for the batts first.

Is that steering servo as big as the tranny...or do I need more coffee to see clearly? :D

Looks like a bigscale servo to me! i wanted to use one in my future savage as well.

Nice ride though!

Just throw in one single 2250-2280 and you'll be fine and covered for speed.. ;)

Got pics of your dual setup with the two 40160's? i'd like to see those two controllers with the size of a cathedral covering your chassis.. :D

yeah it is a 1/4 scale servo..

I gotta say, I love it.... 350 oz/inch... :)

Got pics?

:D

that is crazy...im so jelous, (got any esc for sale?). U should race that thing in the unlimited class! i bet u would own!!!!

The heavy duty springs for the MGT Proline shocks really work great on the heavier trucks too. I got them for mine and it is a big difference, truck jumps much better. :)

How much that setup cost ya?

That is cool. I like it. I thought about the same thing with the 1/4 scale servo. Let me know if they hold up better. I have to make a plate but oh well. I like to see some more pics of this one and the other one you sold. Keep up the good work mate.

I only have pics for one of my 40.160.. I'll try to fine my other pics though...

It was very powerful, but I don't want to mention anything about my driving skills...

That dual 40.160, and the dual 1930's ran me about $1700 from FineDesignrc...

I really do regret that I sold it... I want to get that 40.160WK back.... anyone interested in an 18.129?.. :)

I took pics of when I had one.. but for my setup I had another 40.160WK on the bottom.. but for that pic, I think I had it in my Brushless Savage...

I'll try to find better pics.... I didn't have a digital camera back then. I borrowed a camera and took this pic back then to sell it on ebay.. :)

Seriously..

Consider one 2250/2280 on about 30 cells... It will be faster and less expensive..

The 2280 is a very, very powerfull motor, a CEN.46 has been pushed to the 63 mph on only 20 cells!! go figure!!

I personally would not put any money on schulze though.. ;)

would it be safe to even try 6 Lipo's on the 18.61 or 18.129 controller....

I would contact schulze about this.

I don't know, it should work, those few tenths of volts should not be a problem imo..

Yeah, the quarter scale servo holdes up very very well.. haven't stripped anything yet....

I've tried contacting schulze, but no reply...

I guess the 2280 will be my next motor.... isn't it about 4000 Watts.???..

Yes.. It is!!

you need some proper cells to power up that beast!!

I just bought a nice charger! up to 10S lipoly! (@4A)

What charger did you get?.. 10S?.. I need that...

my Astro 109D only does 9S...

If there's something that does 12S, that would even be better...

You boys got me started. Just out of curiousity, what would be the best combo money could buy for an 8th scale buggy? What Lehner? 19what? What Lipos would you get when money would not be a question?

Well, about the lipo's those new ballanced FMA's ? Or the Kokam 3200's..

A 1950 would get my vote. I like a large motor on not too many cells.. (you also experienced it with your XL) you could also get a wanderer 8XL or a 9XL.. if they only had those segmented magnets...

The charger i got is a Graupner Duo PRo 30.

An 8th scale buggy would be a nice platform for a 60ish mph BL, I think. Should still be pretty driveable..

I hope those Wanderers will have simillar numbers than the Lehners, indeed. And I also hope they WILL get available one fine day.

BTW, what wind on the 1950 on 4s, or 5s? Thank you.

@ daniel, no need for a buggy, get e set of komodo's for your revo!!

On how many cells are you planning that 1/8th? 6 cells?? (kidding) 12, 14, 16?

1/8 buggies are still the toughest chassis construction available. They can literally take a beating.
You just want to sell me those komodos :p kiddin'

Well, I have a bunch of 14 cell sets at the moment. And my therapist told me to stick to 14. ;)
But I keep thinking: A nice Lipo pack would also fit into a 7 cell tray....

Yeah. I smell a potential 2X 3S candidate.......
