After examining the 2 motors, the maxx w/o fan is different than the maxx with the fan. The bearing recesses are completely different. So the 5mm shaft will not fit in the 1/8 shaft maxximum.

I could also ship it to Plettenberg directly from Germany for you, PM me if you are interested!  |
I may, looking at the motor, it apears to have a demagged rotor, and the windings look to be toast. I appreciate the offer, and may take you up on it, should I damage theother 2 pletts I have.

The plett weighs more than the micro t! It may go in my hyper pede, on 4s. That would be a beast!

I figured they would repair or replace it under warranty, since it was a high end motor and FD replaced a nemesis blue 8XL after demagetizing in less than 30 min no question asked. They blamed the problem on the MGM controller, there was no way it could have been defective ("each motor 100% checked before leaving factory"), and would not cover it under warranty. It would have cost nearly $200 to have it repaired (rotor, labor, return shipping), but after some begging and pleeding the guy checked with Mr. Plettenberg and I managed to get the price cut in half.
I would just order up the rotor, it will be expensive enough.

Thanks for the info, very interesting. Sounds like the Plett guys may be a bitt arrogant...
