I converted a Sportwerks Turmoil. I wanted to do an XB8 or Eight, but my LHS stocks all of the parts for the Turmoil, and I'm not a great driver by any means. My Turmoil does well enough for me.
OK, I've also been considering the Neu. I've had a bit of experience with the Mamba Max systems, but the whole 1/8 (large) scale thing has been confusing to me. As I said, I want to use the MM controller because it is super user friendly and it's really inexpensive. I just don't want to push it too hard and I think I'll already be on the edge with the 7XL that I ordered. I'd imagine that a Lehner 1940/7 is going to put a similar strain on the ESC, current wise. That's why I'm hoping for some confirmation about the 1930 in a buggy in a race application. If it is similar to the L can Feigaos in terms of specs, then it will draw far less current than the larger can motors with similar kv ratings. To tell the truth, I'm kind of already regretting my ordering the 7XL, even though I haven't even received it yet. I'm starting to think that the 7XL is going to be over kill in an 8 lb. buggy on 4S lipo.
I'd really like to use a 1930 class motor as it will (as far as I understand) have about a 30A lower max amp draw than the 1940 class motors. For that matter, I'd like to be able to go with a 1512 rather than a 1515, for the same reasons.
I was really hoping to hear from some guys that are actually running one of these motors in a race environment to get some feedback. I've gotten so much mixed information from people running stuff in buggies and trucks that I'm having a hard time making heads or tails of the info.
I was also leaning more toward the Lehner because it is a two pole motor. I understand that the four pole motors put alot more strain on the ESC, which I'm trying to avoid.
Can anyone say in black and white whether the 1930 (or L, or 1512) motor is just right for a buggy or will it be on the limits of the motor to run it in that application?
