It's a great 2s motor for sure. 3S for something lighter. The lehner xl3100 has more torque then this LRP. I am not able to flip the truck on its roof from a standstill with the LRP.

I can't believe you have different size tires on a 4WD. Why? Normally thats a NO-NO. And does the CRT.5 Normally come with true dual stage springs in the rear? Thats fancy.

Motor sounds great for a slash or something.

Nice ESC!

You should have used the search button...

If so you would have seen the lack of a front center driveshaft or front cvds.

Oh, wait a minute...the search button would not have helped.

Ok, so this is the ONE time you should not have used the search button, let the records show that.

Back to looking at a really expensive motor for everyone running a slash on 2s lipo. They should rename it HV, and maybe sell an esc with no programming and no lipo cutoff. Then they could compete with novak when the past attacks the present in the future.

Let these pics speak for themselves Lincpunk.

LOL JK. Hurry up and finish one of your 10x10 wheel projects.

But seriously the question remains OP why are you using different diameter tires?

I'm bashing with in my yard with my son. Doesn't really matter if the tires are a bit off. I'm not going that fast. And if it does, it balloons enough for it to even out. He's running a Hyper 7 and always tries to chase me. Cat and mouse game, that looks hilarious.

I do not have any 10x10 trucks, that would be silly. Give the search button a try, who knows, you may like it.

ive had three of these LRP vector motors in my mbx5 brushless and they last me about 30 mins!! Given up on them now and got a proper castle motor, they are not fit for 1/8th

snellemin · 04.12.2010, 11:29 AM

The motor has to balls for big vehicles. But it does work well in my crt.5 in an parkinglot roadcourse running with a 15T pinion. Crt.5 came alive with 20T pinion and temps where still normal....with the fan attached!

hi,

I've seen that motor in action last weekend, here in Hamburg/Germany. In the beginning, the motor got quite hot (about 80 deg. c), after that I've cut a big hole in the shell, and I think the fan on the motor didn't work first.

later the motor was - like that - around the 50 deg. C/122f (or a bit more), but not really dangerously hot.

the car was pretty fast. The motor has a small magnet, therefore it needs high rpm.

the new esc stayed cool all the time, pretty good for such a small esc.

there's a mod on the motor to keep it cool, put some thermal lube on the inner side of the motor like that:

it's in German, but you only have to look at the pics...

Anyone know the dimensions of the motor without the fins? The fins look pretty big and I wonder how big the motor is just of the can itself.

I saw quite a few of these at this weekend's Associated race at OCRC and didn't see any die, but I was only there for an hour. The buggies that ran them performed pretty well, but didn't seem to have the torque of the larger Neu-Castles and Tekins.

slimthelineman · 04.26.2010, 05:17 PM

same diameter as a 540 motor but with the fins its slightly bigger, just another shot at trying to get people to run a 550 motor in a 1/8 scale car. better suited to something a little lighter like a 4x4 slash or a heavyish 1/10 scale car.

Little update on this motor.

I am still using it on 2S in my FLM Rustler + MMpro, and with the CHEAT enabled is a beast. Speed runs are fun with this motor.

But there is a new version in town. The 5.5 and 4.5T SC motors, which to me look like the same one I have with a higher kv and no fins. I'm going to get me one to play with and take nude shots(of the motor) for you guys.

I also have the choice of Tekin SC, Novak, Speed Passion, Trinity, etc to choose from, but I just like the look, finish and performance of the LRP's.

They do look very nice.

I'm thinking of picking up an LRP for my 1/12 Ofna Mini Hyper El version. How do you like em, bashing-wise?

snellemin · 01.28.2011, 06:03 PM

I like my LRP's alot. But you have to use the sensor to take full advantage of the motor.

simplechamp · 01.28.2011, 07:32 PM

Can't wait until the weather clears and I can try the Vector 8 in my 1/8 GT. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up too much, but maybe with the low rollout and reasonable gearing it could be alright. Not too worried about it, because if it doesn't work out it just gives me an excuse to get a Viper 1/8 (here's hoping they are out soon!)
