I am in the market for a new motor. Currently have a 18.97KWF and Faigo 10L on 14 cells. Wanting a higher end motor. Looking for either a Lehner or Pletty motor. Thinking a Lehner 1940 series or Pletty Bigmaxximium. Also wanting to get some Kokam lipos. Wanting one Kokam 3200 3s and another Kokam 2s 3200 wired in in series to make a 5s pack. Possibley considering a 6s if my 18.97 can handle it, but would rather not puch its limits.

So what I need help with is choosing a Lehner 1940 (Or other) motor that is approriate for 5s and will not exceed the 64 cont amps the Kokam is rated for with the right gearing? Is this possible? My 10L could do that couldn't it since it is rated at 61 amps? What about the pletty bigmaxx? If it helps the truck is a 10-11 pound truck. I want my controller and motor to run cool and def dont want to fry my expensive Schulze. The 10L stays just warm. Would I be able to keep amps and heat lower if I choose a motor for and use 6s packs? Anyone know if the 18.97 can handle a 6s for sure?

Thanks to anyone that can help and if I have forgetton any info let me know. Still kinda new to lipo and brushless.
