Pro Motors? Patrick?

1400 watts would be unncessary, and therefore, JUST barely enough to have fun....

Make the HV motor a 1.5 turn, and see if you can source a bigger diameter rotor. HEHEHE!

A Lehner 1920-3 would be my choice for crazy fast power. I already found a few sources for a bigger rotor, but I don't know how good they'll be. Plus they want me do send them a detailed drawing with dimensions for the rotor. I can't do anything like that though. I might get the 5mm conversion and send that as well to get a wrapping treatment.

The 3.5r went nearly 80 mph on 2s at the fastest rc-car challenge. Novak actually answered why a wider rotor isn't better. They said that the bigger the rotor, the smaller the airgap between the stator and the magnet, which causes the iron core to become oversaturated, thus producing more heat and lower efficiency. In other words, you would need a bigger stator in the novak hv motors for a wider rotor to be affective.

Oh... They need a bigger stator and then a bigger rotor then....

That's good. Then I don't have to actually draw anything . Does anyone know what the strength on Novak's magnets? The rotor might have space to have it wrapped with Kevlar. That should be good to hold the magnet together under extreme RPMs. A new 2S record shaw be set .

I think the original rotor (the non sintered one) was 14mm and the sintered one is 12.2 mm so you should be able to wrap it with at least .9mm of kevlar.

That's plenty of space. It should be interested to see a lower turn Novak HV motor.

What are you going to run it on, and what turn have you decided on (if you have decided)?
