lol, no I don't think so...although I don't have a conductance meter (poo). What I'm saying is when you're dealing with single-digit milliohms, meter probes and even the probe wire will contribute to bad readings. Just the contacts of the banana plugs and the probe tips have a higher resistance that that! And I'm not about to solder my probes to whatever I'm measuring! ;)

I just fill the soket plugs with solder and tin the wires with solder, too.

That's why you need to use a very capable soldering iron with high watt rate and large flat tip.

Those sokets seem very dogmatic when you use normal soldering iron, and I almost destroyed one of the sokets with my pie** of **#t 40w Weller iron.
Although my 60w Goot iron has a pointed head tip, the solder was easily molten( but went through the " schizophrenic melting"), though the process would've been many times better with a high end soldering system with a chesil tip.

Don't breath then! :p

Comparing the 1940-6 and the 1940-6 hi amp
how much heavier is the hi amp version?

[captain harlock]

The same weight. Only difference is the weight of the soket plugs.

[Hayden]

What’s the difference inside? Will I gain more power/torque (what ever you call it) if I go the lowest turn you can get in a 1940 hi amp?

Just to clarify this: lower turns = more rpm but lower power? Can you get the lost power back from the rpm via gearing?

So I soldered up my 1940 with 12gauge wires soldered righ into the 3.5mm sockets. It looks like it should be good. I cant test it though. I had a set of 5.5mm connectors that I soldered onto the new motor wires and on the controller.Turns out one of the female sockets is undersize and the plug wont go in. Its the wierdest thing. Its like the forgot to make the final cut on the inside before they sent it out for plating. Anyway, no big deal, but its preventing me from finding out if I messed anything up with the motor untill a new set of 5.5 plugs comes in. I ordered them, but they probably wont get here till monday/tuesday next week.

In the mean time, heres a picture of how it turned out and I'll let you know how it runs when I get the new plugs in. Thanks for all the tips guys!

The Lehner looks great.

I nearly bought one.......deceided on the NEU (as you know). It should arrive Thursday or Friday.

Now I have to get the rest of the truck put together!

Oh, BTW, Nice heat shrink job!

[captain harlock]

Clean job, Jeff. Don't forget to report in.

Could you drill the plug out to fit the size plug you have?

Possibly, but that seems like alot of hassle for a plug. I jsut got some new ones. Anyway, Id be afraid that I didnt get the finish or fit right and it would be not as good as it should be. Id be risking an expensive ESC for a $2 Plug. The new plug will be here soon enough.

Besides, its not like Im gonna drive it this week anyway. Way to cold out.

Hummm…. Still out of stock do you have an idea when they will be in?

Is the 1940/9 capable of pushing the same setup (with changes to gearing etc…)as well as a 1940/6
Will it still run as good in a boat (with prop changes etc....)?

[jhautz]

I talked to mike earlier this week and he said that there was an order placed with Lehner for quite a while now and he is just waiting for it to come in. He is expecting it sometime in the next couple weeks. But right now its really in the vendors hands.

Im waiting fr them to come in too. :018:

Yes I know how it feels I work in a hobby shop and some times the orders don’t even turn up, humm I’ll just have to wait. Would it be possible to purchase it now so I don’t miss out and get it A.S.A.P.:032:
