Fried Lehner 1940? Help!!!

[captain harlock]

Too big for your application. You're racing and you need a motor that spools up very fast for blistering acceleration. The 2240 is VERY strong, but only if you feed it up with enough cells, and it won't accelerate as fast. Only buy it if you want to make incredible speeds( eventhough, the 1940/1950 is enough for that) get the 2240.

I know it's big, but it's a chance I'm willing to take if it will keep cool under racing conditions. After what happened to my 1940 in a qualifying heat, I'm just really gun shy on going too small. I don't like that it's 6 oz heavier, but I'll do it if it will solve my problem.

The way I see it, I have these options:

Neu 1515
Neu 1521
Lehner 1950
Lehner 2240

The Neu's have the cogging issue, and I'm not sure the 1515 would handle the racing situation based on what happened to my 1940. The Lehner's are impossible to get, but there's the 2240 by nl12 for sale right now with the same KV as my 1940 was. I was happy with that until it fried. Pretty coincidental.
