Lehner 22 series

[coolhandcountry]

I was looking at a new lehner 22 series. Not sure but the motor seems bigger in diameter. Looks to have 4mm mounting screws as well. If so Do I have to make a motor mount? Any comments on people that have this motor. Is it worth the money. Don't mind spending if it is worth the money. Thanks all

These motors are LARGE! I think the 1940 or 1950 series is all you would ever need. I run a 1940/8 on 22.2 volts and it doesn't even work up a sweat. the 1950 would be even more effortless. These motors are worth the money IMHO. They are smooth, powerful and run cool compared to non-segmented magnet motors. A customer recently picked up a 2280 motor for a boat. The motor is like a soda can in size! You would need a beefy motor mount to secure it for sure. The 19 series bolt right up, though they are a bit heavy for the g-maxx motor mount (works fine, but the 37 foot jump at my local track was too much for the big motor on this mount!

[coolhandcountry]

Only 37 feet. Would I need a special mount then for the 22 series? I know it may be a little extreme. Look at my signature. I drive a truck with 600 hp on the road. :D What can I say? I got it bad. RCing or not.
Is there a way to mount like a bracket or mount to back of the motor as well?

[RC-Monster Mike]

A bracket to support the rear of the motor is exactly what I have in mind.

[coolhandcountry]

What about the front? Is the Mounting stuff Like i think. Mount bolts 4mm and spread a little farther apart? Never saw but pics.

[RC-Monster Mike]

I didn't really look that closely at the mounting configuration of the 22 series. Pretty sure it needs a custom mount though.

[coolhandcountry]

It looked like it. Just want to make sure. Thanks alot mike. If you would mike Pm me a price on the 2240 and 2250 series. Thanks

I'm pretty sure that Promod ran a 22 series on his maxx and said it was fast and made plenty of power.

Because a pic tells more than a thousand words..

I am dubbing with some ideas too..

I wanted a 2240-2250, but i got a 2nd 9920, and i don't know if i want to go above 20 cells.. The 8XL or the 9XL sounds tempting too, but i want to get a setup that could easely push my truck above the 60mph.. Perhaps a 36120/36150 and a 2250 is an option.. (or even a 2280, i like the motor being huge..)

[coolhandcountry]

This is my threory. If you have more power than you need. You don't have to pull the trigger that far. Adjust your epa on controller. If you don't have the power. You are SOL. (sh## Out of luck)
@ serum If you get yours before i do let me know how it does. If I get mine first I let you know. I don't think I going with the 2280. I stick with 2250 or 40 Just not sure what turns and stuff I going to get. Need to get a controller to. OH well! Have to work a little harder make some extra money.

On the other hand, i am curious what your 9XL does on 20 cells!! ( i was thinking about planting that in my savage w/centerdiff)

It should be awesome fast. The question is, how far do you want to go? i want a truck that can bash, race and be scary fast. Perhaps my new challenge is 20 cells, lightweight and with a centerdiff. handling is the needed for a fast truck.

something like a 65 mph truck is nice, but when are you using it's power when you drive offroad.. A nice racer on 20 cells, perhaps that suits my needs allready..

[coolhandcountry]

What does the pitch diameter mean? Is that the space between the mount screws.

[Serum]

Yeah, that's it..

Heart/heart

Need another motorplate.. ;)

To each his own, and I don't want to start nothing, but 60+mph in an off-road RC is just too much. In My Humble Opinion! First of all, where do you want to drive it? On a soccer field?
40-45mph is plenty. Period! Even on a BIG track.
Going for records in the name of science is all good for me, but I want my RC's to be driveable. AND, lots of cells, 18 and more, give you such an extra weight, makes a truck hard to handle, and impacts really hurt.
But, oh well, I'm dreaming of a sick over-powered RC myself. But just simpy can't afford it. One day, who knows?!
Have fun, and enjoy the hobby. (if only those Lehners would be a wee bit cheaper:rolleyes: )

Others have indicated that larger motors (cans) take longer to spin up.

Anybody know the theory behind this? And more importantly, if its accurate?

Finally, is there a formula to indicate the rate at which a motor will reach its maximum RPM given consistent factors (resistance, weight, etc.)?
