Here are some pics and I'll post how it behaves after I assemble back together...freakin' Pita to do so.

cool hands




looks like a tiny motor for 1/8 scale, could you take a pic of it next to a 1515 or 1512?

OOOHHHH Yah more hand porn...mmmmmmmmmmmm

OH and the motor is nice too. :rofl:

Is that a 3 slot stator??

Here is a pic with the motor against a Pletty, C50 Hacker and a 1512 Tekno Neu. Yes that is a 3 slot stator, just like the little x12 brother and x11, x10, x9 cousins. The rotor is 13mm. Stock Timing insert is -5 degrees. Instruction manual states that the fan has to be used at all times. Go figure.

Rotor looks puny!

Has to be puny to be ROAR legal... :lol:

I stuck the motor in my Rustler running 2s lipo. Running the MMpro in sensored mode only and 30 degrees timing boost. Pretty fun. Vid and datalog will follow tomorrow or so.

Hmm, looks like it'll be ok for some light duty action. More power than a standard 540 can but less than an XL.

Plenty of fun with 18 degrees boost. 30 degrees is a bit much and I don't see a difference in speed really. The below two pics shows the continuous amp draw at the different timing boost with the MMpro and 2s lipo.

so its spiking 94 amps in just a rustler?

can you post a graph of continious amp draw?

This is the graph of the 18 degrees timing.

I finally started running this motor in the CRT.5. On 4s1p A123(11.6V under cont. load), the supplied motor fan is needed for sure. Gets too hot for my comfort. The pro of the motor, is the "Build-in" dragbrake of the motor. For those that like dragbrakes for SC trucks, this is the motor. It's hooked up to Luciano's 200A ESC.

Great info, makes for interesting reading. So, ~380 L can motor being sold as a 1/8 scale item... naughty LRP, very naughty.... :lol:

They will soon realize that Novak doesn't recommend the HV line of motors for 8th scale.
