anyone have any links for the lehner motors? which models would be comparable or better than the 1521 Neus?
@lutach,
i knew you had some sick setups just from your posts here on RCM but would love to see those ones you mentioned. so is the difference noticable to run the 1521 over the 1515 in a truggy? or is there enough power already present in the 1515 that anything more you wont notice anyway?
i guess i am just kind of a speed/power addict. i run the 1515 1.5d on 5s in both my truggies currently and i love it. a great all around setup. low-end tourque, 60mph speeds, and very low temps. cant ask for much more.....except for the 1521 1d on 5s 6600 mah....he,he,he.....then after that it will be a 1527 in a truggy, God willing.  |

Keep in mind that too much speed and power will keep you going to the LHS often to buy parts. A few of the boat guys compare a Neu 1521 to a Lehner 2240 and the Neu 1527 to a Lehner 2250. The price differance is what sets them apart though. You can also look at the Mega http://www.megamotorusa.com/Brushles...-ACn_22_SERIES. The ACn22/50 are awesome motors too, but the price is up there for that one. You can find good deals on the ACn22/45, but like all airplane motors, they are an open can design. If you're on a budget, go with the Medusa 70 or 80mm motors. |
Ive never personaly owned a Plet, but have enver heard anyone say anything but good things about them.
Here is a link to the Lehner motors. The only place that i know of that carries them in the US is FineDesignRC
(which is enough reason in my book to not bother with them also.)
Mike used to carry them back in the day, but they totally screwed him over at one point and the pain of dealing with them just wasnt worth it to him any more so he dropped their line along witht he BK controllers.
Here is a link to the Lehner website, I really wish they would get their distribution stuff fixed and dealt with so we could get these motors easier. They are so nice, I just hate that they are so difficult to deal with.

If you do Go with a Lehner a 1950 is more than enough motor for a truggy. And I agree with linc... A bigger motor isnt always better. At some point it is just more power that breeaks things. it doesnt make the truggy any faster, just harder to drive and much les reliable which is no fun at all.
