Plettenberg Maxximum Vs 9L
 

just a quick question how does the Plettenberg Maxximum compare to a 9L as ive just spotted one on e bay heard they are supposed to be good and was considering bidding on it but how would it compare to my 9L

The thing with the Plett. motor is that it is a 4 pole motor where as the Feigao is a 2 pole motor. You'll only be able to run that motor on certain BL controllers where as the 9L is very user friendly. All the Plett. motors I've seen run used the Schulze 18.97 controller which can be pretty expensive, however Schulze and burning up get along good together.

i wouldnt get it because schulze controllers seem to burn up alot and i think schulze is the only company that makes controllers comptatable with the plettenbergs

Besides a Wanderer XL is cheaper, more powerful and some say it is smoother. Oh and its a two pole motor

the plettenberg isnt worth it and i agree with crazy why would you want to get it.

hi
from the experience i have with a BL savage the plettenberg maxximum with fan was about as powerful as a feigao 7XL.
the 2poler is somewhat "nicer" to the controller.
the quality of those motors is not comparable....as well as the price.
and as was mentioned the pletti is a four poler which makes shrinks the choice of for the controllers.
the problem with the schulze are those small 3.5mm plugs that go the motor. one should change them regularly. maybe it would be a possiblity to put some fat wire on those 3.5mm plugs and let them plugged so to say. and then put a 4mm or bigger plug on the other side of the wire to connect the motor. i don't know if it that reduces the problem. havn't tried it yet.
of course there are all the other questions (model, how many cells, gearing etc etc) to consider when choosing an adequate motor.

hi thanks for the replys guys i just saw one on e bay in the UK and you cant buy many BL motors or controllers in the UK so wondered if it was worth bidding on to replace my 9L but from what you have said it wouldnt work with my controller so i didnt bother went for £61 about $125

Rhylsadar did you run the big maxximum or the maximum?

hi
maxximum w/ fan.

Rhyslader;

i really think that you would notice difference with the maxximum and the 7XL, if your batteries could deliver the power the 7XL needs.

my guess is that your maxximum allready is able to drain the maxx from the batteries, and so is the 7XL. in my case, the 7XL had the same power as the bigmaxximum.

As with all setups; the batteries are the limit.. ;)

hi

yes that might be possible. although those weren't bad batteries. 16cells p&m gp3300.

anyway i think i read somewhere here in this forum that the XL series of the feigaos will deliver around 1200watts. that would be more or less comparable to a maxximum (1000watt). so maybe you could not get the real power out of your 1800watt bigmaxximum. who knows. ;)

in any case the 7XL might be powered with more cells more easily than the maxximum.

concerning the starting question. i think the maxximum is more powerfull than a 9L eventhough i do not own a 9L. but i have driven once a maxx with 9L and i have a 10L wanderer here to be used in a buggy conversion that is powered so far with a maxximum. so there i' ll see the direct comparison.

Big max is overpriced...

rhylsadar, your videos always made me think the pletts were great motors. I was planning on buying one for my MT2, but money became the factor, so I went w/ a Feigao 540C 9L. even in your buggy, I can tell that it's got alot more power than a 9L. i've got 20+ videos of 1/8 buggies, and yours is one of the most powerful setups i've seen.

Rhylsader;

the XL can do 2200 watts.

That is, if the batteries deliver the power needed.. ;)

Yeah, and if this is not enough, even the high-end Lehners are cheaper than the Pletts. And they take a whole range of controllers.
