Lehner 1950 or 2230 with 5\6s and an MGM Compro 16024?

Yeah go up on pinion down on spur. Numerically lower.
What voltage are you running? I
have found some like more volts. It seems to want less amps to do the same
job. The 1950 I have found runs cooler than the xl motors. I think it has to do
with a better winding job.

OK, here's the new news... Got a deal that I couldn't pass up on a Quark Monster Pro 125B, new in package with the neon wires versus the "old" white wires:027: . I snagged it for $260, shipped, so OK, not a GREAT deal or anything, but still something I couldn't pass up when the 16024 goes for well over 3 bills... I'm going to take the Quark, stick it on my current 8XL, bump up to 5s (18.5V) from my current 4s (14.8V) and see how she goes.

I'm planning on adding a sync to the Quark and a couple of fans to keep temps in check, I'm also planning a sync for the motor and maybe a single 25mm fan for it as well. Best case this will help my current setup and save me $335 for the Lehner, worst case, I planned on spending the cash and I'll grab the Lehner anyway:) :).

Should have the new controller by as late as Monday, once I get things set back up I'll post some pics so you guys can see what I've got going here. Nothing to special, stock Savage 2 speed trans, center CVDs, lowered the stock motor plate by about 4mm and am using ring mounts for the motor. Everything fits great, looks pretty good, but I may make some changes with the new setup, we see...

Appreciate everyones input, now all I'll have to do is fine tune gearing once I have her moving :) :)

I agree w/ CHC. You need to gear up a bit. If your motor is hot and you esc isn't you arent loading the motor enough and its not running as efficient as it could. Find the ''sweet spot'' and it'll run cooler. (and it will get you that extra speed you are looking for)

VERY COOL!! Looks like I'll be adding that extra "s" and potentially going back to maybe as high as an 18 tooth pinion :) :) Guess I'll find out, lol, worst case, using the 5s should bump up the effiency just a bit and, maybe, make me good to go with the current 16t. Yep, definitly looks like I have some testing to get done!! Can't wait to get the controller, also going to get one of jhautz s quark syncs from Mike and have my self all hooked up!!

Sounds like the upgrades should be really fun and will smoke your nitro buddies :)

One thing tho I wouldn't do is put a heatsink and fan if you get the 1950. If you've ever played with mounting heatsinks on a CPU, you will find that the HSFs need a ton of spring force onto the CPU to work properly. Its about 25 lbs for a 0.5" sq cpu.

Even then, if you don't do a good job with the thermal compound that goes between the HSF and CPU, you will still get poor heat conductance, and potentially create an insulator trapping heat. I can't see any reasonable way you could make an easy motor HS that would be better than just leaving it be. Also, a 25mm fan will not move much air and would be lost in such a big motor.

The HS for the Q125 is a bit diff as you are adding onto the existing undersized HS (vs say direct mount onto the FETs) and the heat output per area of the case isn't as great as a CPU, so the tolerances are more forgiving.

any reason you didn't want to put 6s on the 9920?
