Plettenberg Bigmaxximum with fan?

[Procharged5.0]

Interesteing.............

I wonder if/how that's related?

Thats true, you cant spin the shaft without a pinion, but if you put a pinion on there and give it a spin...it spins for a couple seconds. I think in europe its THE motor to run, and has been for a while. When EmaxxJeremy gets voltage to his Pletty, you will get a good idea how durable they are. If it lasts a weekend with him, its impressive.

You've probably heard mine already, but my first 9918 took 4 months for repair, and the 2nd 9918 took 6 months.

[squeeforever]

Damn...9 months is rediculously to long. However, whether I was dealing with FD or BK, it still only took a month. If I'm not mistaken, Travis, didn't you go through Mike? Which I would think would be about the same as going through FD (what I mean by that is there is a middleman and Mike is fast as hell, so...)...If anything I would expect it to take longer to go through a retailer, unless its Mike.

First time was through Starluck RC, 2nd time was through Mike.

I have done 2 schulze through FD, 1 back within 2 weeks, one in 6 months, and EmaxxJeremy did one and got a $200 repair bill and a bag of fets.

Which motor will give the longest run times? I heard the pletty was more efficient.

On runtimes the pletty and nue are going to be very close.

[Serum]

Yeah, their efficiency is close, If you take the same KV, the runtime is about equal.

Yes, that souns like schulze.. He promised me to replace my controller for free.. But i did get a 75 dollar bill, with a PIC controller in a bag.. the 75 dollars where ´research-investigation´

lol, reasearch.

I am the reason for the line in the rules " cannot use two motors arranged on common spur". Since I was in spec on every other rule of theirs, they made that one up just for me. And by them saving a couple dollars and not replacing my controller, I cost them thousands by reporting it to everyone wanting to buy a controller. Brilliant schulze....

These new guys dont know how bad it used to be, or they would REALLY REALLY appreciate the Castle guys.....

Bomb... I remember reading about BL back in the day... but I never got one until the Hacker combo.

If anyone doesn't appreciate what we have now, we should make them buy a coupel airplane controllers and mess with them for a while. Then buy a Schulze... then they can graduate to a CC or Quark, etc.

Well I haven't been on RC forums nor the RC niche in a long time. Kinda got busy and all stuff just put on halt especially all my hobbies. I don't really even know why I ended up at Monster-RC checking out the forums. LOL

Anyhow, I really like my Plettenberg BigMaxximum, yeah and been lucky not to burn out my Schulze 18.97 KW, and I do run 18 cells on it.

I run my full aluminum G-Maxx with that motor/esc combo and love it. I haven't played with it in a long time but when I have, it ran great.

I also have a few other brushless motors but I do prefer my Plettenberg over them. If I wasn't using my Plettenberg BigMaxximum, I would probably run a Lehner 1940 or maybe the Feigao 7XL that I have on the G-Maxx.
I am planning on buying a Plettenberg Bolido with 10 lipo cell config for my 1/5 scale McLaren F1 project to replace the Gas Engine I took out. I really like these motors and would be first on my list before considering anything else or Lehner motors tho I wouldn't mind looking into these "neu" motors. I haven't been around so I am not so familiar with the new stuff.

Here is a pic of my old ride.. Probably lost in the forums by now, with all these great projects I have seen.
All scuffed up with all the bashing but still looks good on the pics tho they are old pics.. LOL I do even have a vid I made bashing of it long time ago somewhere.
Yeah I like posting pics ever since people used to always ask for pics so there..




I even planned on running dual BigMaxximum's on my Full custom Monster Truck, I just need to finish the axle project with the supermaxx 8 spider diffs that are 98% complete. Yeah this one is more of a show truck but at least I run my G-Maxx like a basher. Yeah You can say I really like the Plettenberg motors.. LOL..

[glassdoctor]

Awesome rides! What the hell is that rear axle for??????????? :)

clean trucks, and where did you find that axle??
