Plettenberg Bigmaxximum with fan?
 

Where is the cheepest place to get it? The lowest I could find was $300.

I think you found it for a fair price.

What are you going to use it in? and on how many cells?

You can email mike to see how much he can get you one for.

Keep searching, you will find it for $275.

What are you planning on using it in? and with what controller?

and you enjoy watching this guy hunt around????

help him out Bomb! :027:

I tried, it got deleted both times I tried to. :032:

Feel free to post it Bomb.

thanks. Starluckrc.com has them from time to time, and can get them. You have to email Jamie, and he can hook ya up.

cool. now for the batteries. i'm going to use the quark monster esc with a custom made ceramic heat sink and fans. will everything servive twin 3s lipos?

No, the Quark isn't capable of 6S. it tends to act weird. The people at sky & technoligy told me they don't know of an issue, but by the experience of quite some users here, i can assure you it will not work stable.

If you want 6S, better not do it on the bigmaxximum either, it tends to run hot, at the 2200 Kv, it will run 45K, which is too hot. currentdraw will be crazy.

I would say 4-5S at maxx for this motor, but running it at 5S is a relative hot setup.

it's better to go for about a 1600-1700 KV on 6S (aim for 30-35K)

What vehicle are you planning on using it in? and how much does it weight? and what is the gearing-ratio?

Twin 2s 8000mah?

That still leaves some other questions open Skitz.

What vehicle are you planning on using it in? and how much does it weight? and what is the gearing-ratio?

E-MAXX. low gearing for torque. I play in a small area. I don't really need the top end. I will talk to you guys later about what I need to do to the drive train to handle it.

yes, the quark and 6s are not a good combo. The good thing is, 5s on the MM and bigmaximum works very well, I have no heat issues (lightweight revo).

What would twin 2S 8000mah Lipo's do?

Give you boat loads of run time!

Yeah, it would be a great setup for the bigmaxx IMO.. nice.. In the 30K range, the motor is made for it.. on 4S2P the maxamps can handle it.

If you want what you describe. You could pick up a 1512 2.5 d neu motor.
It has a good power and torque. I still get decent speed and save you some
money as well. Just an option.

Id take a plettenberg over a nue any day, both are great motors, but I like the pletties better.

OK.....WHY?????

Only thing that's better about a plettenberg is that it's got closed endbells and a built in fan.. But even with the fan, mine got pretty hot.. Neu can run without a fan. (the fan on the plettenberg takes energy too)

both are close, but the plettenbergs only come in 1 type of wind.

what neu have you got bomb?

Rene,

Did I tell you my NEU 1515 arrived yesterday?

I'm looking forward to getting it set-up.

You just did Hank.. It's a beauty, isn't it.. It's well built. did you get the end-cap from Mike as well?

Did you get the 1y pro?

I'm using the Quark 125 with 6S Lipos without a problem at all.

It is a beauty! Mike installed the endcap before he shipped it. Now I just need to squeeze in the time to get this truck assembled!!!!

I hope to work on it a little bit tomorrow.

Yep. Went with the 1Y. I thought it was the best choice (although I debeted the 2.5D) The 1Y will run well with 12, 14, or 16 cells. So I should be set for a while.

I will replace the MM with a MMM when they finally get released. :027:

You be fine man. I got the 2.5d but 1512 model. Little smaller but great just the same.

Ok, you posted what the pletty has thats better, now post what the nue has better. :eek:
BTW, the pletty doesnt need a fan, but it has a fan. For the same token, the pletty doesnt need holes in the endbell. :027:

There is a reason why everyone says the nue is the ultimate motor, but I am not getting into that. Both are a step above the rest, but its kinda funny people are all suggesting the nue and not the pletties....and some even talking negative about the pletties...lol.

There is nothing wrong with the pletties, its just that for the price and cell count they can take, arent the prettiest. You also have to take into account, like the lehners there is a longer turnaround if anything happens to them. I think they are all great motors.

Of all the BL monster trucks I've seen, only a token few had Pletty's.

The majority of high end trucks always seem to have Lehner 1940 or 1950's. More recently the NEU's are making their presence known (my truck included).

hackers were popular but that seems to be waning. Novak HV Maxx seems to show up on mid-range trucks or with those afraid to pick & choose among the offerings to build their own "best system". Of course the Feigao's show up alot due to their excellent value and good performance.

I think the Pletty is built very well but the limited wind offerings may be the single biggest reason you see so few. One size does not fit all.

I have always wondered about testing the pletties. I just never have. I think
they are nice motors. I kind of like the looks of them. Do you have any rotor
size measurements on it bombproof?

As far as specs go the big max is 80mm long, 43mm around.

I agree, the Novaks aregeared toward the low-mid level trucks, and the pletty/nue are the high end...without question. As far as service work, I agree, its probably going to take longer to fix a pletty. But a motor in its voltage range and good bearings is going to last a looooong time. Im not knocking the nue in any way, by any means. As far as one size fits all, well...that can be debated for years.

That is out side casing. I was more on inside. Rotor size.

I wanted a Pletty with fan for a long time but I wasn't doing much with my conversions and I was not ready to pay so much $$ for a motor.

Once I did take the plunge for a high-end motor I had the option of the "new" Neus. :) More kv choices, easier to get in here in the States, cheaper, etc.

But I still look with some envy at the Pletty Max... it just looks cool.

@GD

The Big maxximum is the best looking motor I've seen! The NUE looks great but the Pletty's look perfect (almost intimidating!) in a monster truck!

The fan idea is great too.

I've always been concerned by the service issues with Lehner, BK, Pletty, etc. I'm not a fan of waiting months for an item to be serviced nor the obstacles of shipping over seas and thru customs.

I dont remember the actual rotor size.

I havent heard anything about pletty service, its not something thats going to break often. However, Mtroniks is overseas and the service is outstanding. Comparable to CC, which is awesome. I smoked a Mtronik esc and within 10 days of sending it out I had a free replacement in hand. BK is horrible, shulze is worse.

Ditto on Mtroniks... I had the same experience with my Truck esc.

That's impressive considering it's overseas!
