What would be the best Plettenberg for a UE Lightning chassis? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Where are you from ? If European get the Plet big maxx with fan. King of motors, if you're American get a neumotors or a castle creations 2200 kv. Mike RC-Monster.com sells both

I live in the US. Can the Plettenbergs not be bought here? I am new to the electric scene but have seen a couple of UE Lightning's with the Plettenberg's and they look awesome. This truck will be for display only.

You can find some used ones here and there. But Icare-rc (Canada) sells them.

you could buy 3 cc/neus for the price of 1 big maxx

If you want the ultimate for your shelf queen, a big maxx by plettenberg is the way to go. http://www.icare-rc.com/plettenberg_pricelist.htm#cars

Get the one w/ the fan. It's much more impressive looking. I'd even remove the ano so it's bright silver like the rest of the truck.

Display only? Give me your money so I can spend it properly!

Seriously though, if you were a few weeks earlier a member here had a BM he burnt up that would have been perfect for display, but its been hacked up now and turned into a heatsink for his Neu powered custom maxx.

I bought my Bigmaxx for the same price as a CC/NEU motor, only difference is, that it was used, but it's like new

Thanks for the info. Plettenberg Big Maxx w/ fan times "TWO" is the way to go for me!!!! Yes, I did say TWO OF THEM!!!!! I am going to check the size of the Big Maxx and then see how much room I have on the Lightning and if two will fit then two it will have.

If you do a little checking on here you can find an old thread from about a year ago started by Matt aka "plettenberg" with his UE lightning setup with two Big Maxx motors installed. He ran it for a little while like that, but then realized that it was just too much power for the normal size Maxx truck and now he sports just one Big Maxx motor, but he has two trucks setup that way. He may pop in if he sees this thread.

I have my UE Lightning setup with one Big Maxx installed myself. It is just for show right now though as I am planning to install the Plettenberg "Bolido" motor once I have the money for one. It is much larger and a bit more powerful. It will be for high speed runs. Yes they do look awesome with the Plettenberg setups. Good luck with your porject Sir.

2 pletts ? man glad to see the economy hasn't screwed us all. My point about europe and America buying was just the import tax etc. but I gather you've got that by now. Need pics ! sounds like 1 nice build

I assume you are talking about my planned setup with the "Bolido" motor. Yes it will be stupid awesome. I have had the chassis setup for a while now with a double mono block installed to stretch out the vehicle. It already has a very long custom stainless steel rear drivesaft from RCalloys, and if Mike ever releases the center diff mount we have been waiting on I will install a slipperential with this setup. I am sure it will take some tweeking to get the setup just right, but it will be loads of fun just going through the testing and adjustments trying to achieve 100mph+ with a UE lightning SuperMaxx. Thanks for your vote of confidence. Now I just have to wait until I have enough money to purchase the Bolido. Times are tough all over.

Yeah I highlighted it. 171mm pin to pin right?
I've seen your work! Please do it!! When do you plan to create the build thread? I can't remember if I've seen a truck with two monoblocks. You've got setbacks to right?

Wouldn't you like to rearrange your last sentence? Tough times are all over. lol
