fancy pants.

Nice motor, it sure will propel the Maxx along at a fair old pace.

God daaaamn

Now I can honestly say that i have some power on my maxx I drive with 4s pack and still thinking to with two 3s in series ..But the LMT is very good...and has very low..30'c temp's even I go with 22/64 gearing.

Lehner recommends the hi-amp version anytime curent draw is expected to exceed +/- 80 amps. The motor are identical internally, but the hi-amp cannot be re-configured. :)

[Hotti]

ok..
So is there anything i can do with my normal amp motor?Can I mod it to high amp?

[Serum]

no, you can't. The high-amp motors are build in a different way, you can resolder the back to make a star configuration instead of a Wye. (which devides the KV by 1.72)

[Hotti]

HI..sorry about my bad english but i dont understand it all what u was saying about star resoldering?Help me whit this...What's the benefit of star conficuration?Any picture of how to do it?

[Serum]

brushless motors are available in delta (star) and Wye (Y) windings.

A delta wind gives 1.73 times as much torque and 1.73 times less KV than a Y winded motor.

Lehner non high-amp motors come in Y, but you can remove the original solder and reconfigure it as a Delta winded motor.

With the lehner non high-amp motors you have a motor that is a Wye wind, which can be soldered to a Delta wind motor.

This Y and D is also used for Neu brushless motors, the 1515 1y for excample. and they are also available in D.

[Hotti]

Ömm..ok...but if i use the motor in bashing..and also for high speed driving,is the Y system better for me?

[Serum]

that would depend on the KV you choose!

you normally pick the KV for the voltage your setup needs to run.

[Hotti]

Ok.then I go with normal system.But how about norl vs hi-amp?I have MGM 16018 esc and two maxamps 2s2p 8000mah lipos in series..so do I need to worry about motor getting wrecked?

[Serum]

no, depending on the kv you take. no worries about the motor. You can go either high amp or non high-amp.

[suicideneil]

Those numbers are perfectly fine- my Hv6.5 has a kv of 3100, and also runs on 16.8v. It does run hot, but then my truck weighs a ton and the motor is just a 380 in 540 clothing.... you should be fine.

[Hotti]

I ran it last weekend two set of lipos and the venom samrt temp shows that max temps were(motor) 37'c at gearing 22/64.So i quess that everything is ok......i should gear it down a bit cause tires start to balloon a lot

[suicideneil]

To help reduce tyre ballooning, you can stick some duct tape around the inside of the tire- you have to remove them, turn them inside out, run the tape around then a couple times, then turn them back to normal and glue them onto the rims- helps alot or so I hear.
