Lehner 3080 / 8 Brushless Motor ? fault - 01.01.2009, 05:11 PM

I have been running this motor on a FG monster truck coupled to a schulze 40.160 controller on 10s 6000ma Lipos. However on low rpm the motor stops turning on Load - it stalls. Once the motor stops turning increasing throttle does not help it get moving. It is as if the rotor is locked or stalled. The only way to get the motor moving again is to bring the controller back to neutral and throttle it. If I throttle it hard or load the motor after it has picked up speed it will keep moving past. The motor will accelerate freely to its top rpm but does not like been loaded on low rpm. Once the motor has picked up speed the load does not appear to affect it.

Basically the motor cannot spin from dead on a load but will turn the load once it has picked up speed. In practice it means holding the truck off the ground letting the wheels spin and then dropping the truck. The other way is to push the truck and then accelerate away. Once the truck is moving it will pick up speed quickly and get upto 40mph rapidly.

I coupled this motor with a BK controller 36150 and was running it fine but after 5minutes the controller caught fire when I tried to move from standstill.


Any thoughts? I know the schulze is not faulty as it runs a Plettenber Bolido no problems.
