If you want to use a Lehner or other motor such as Neu you will need to fashion out an adaptor that will convert a 5mm shaft or 8mm shaft to a 10mm shaft with ground sides to 8mm if you want a perfect fit. I think with the high rpm this is important as you want to avoid vibration due to imbalance.
Personally I am a big fan of Plettenberg motors as they are multipole motors and develop a help of a torque. I know there are other forum members who have compared the KV rating of the Plettenbergs with the Neu motors and drawn their own conclusions but all I can say is that this Plettenberg Bolido will do anything a FG monster truck will do.
My setup is geared 23/40 and I believe you can go upto 25/38 max. I still have so much torque it is wasted on this gear ratio. It is geared for maxximum speed not torque but the motor is so powerful it doesnt care. I think if I install this motor on a Monster FG it will cartwheel easily and wheelie non stop.
I have never experiemented with a Neu 1527 or 2215. Here in the UK it is difficult to obtain Neu motors and it is easier to obtain Plettenbergs or Lehner motors from Germany. So it is the oppositie to the situation in the USA.
In the next couple of weeks I am going to install the Lehner 3080 in my MCD monster truck. This is motor is so huge it is the diameter of a 2litre coke bottle. With the 4WD I am hoping for impressive performance but realise that speed is not going to be its main asset. This motor has a 10mm shaft and I look forward to grinning when I can find the suitable Motor mount to accommodate the girth of the motor. Total overkill but who cares - I already own the motor and the speed controller to go with it. As I mentioned before it will hopefully run on 18S. I want to try and find out the maxximum limits of Brushless power.

I've seen more powerful motors around. In fact Hacker have a motors that is 50% more powerful than even the mighty 3080...

It's a 10000 watts continuous motors! The lehner 3080 have nearly the same rating as peak! Good luck fitting it though!
