New 1/5 Motor, BigBlock "pics inside" -
01.27.2009, 06:12 PM
Picked up a Kollmorgen 400 brushless motor for my 1/5 yesterday. Its absolutely monsterous compared to the CIM robotics brushed motor and hopefully will displace even more raw power. Its so wide that I will have to make a custom plate that will have to hang off the chassis to be able to mount the other side of the motor.
Here are a few pics. "Internal pics will be posted up asap"
Holy Moses, that is big...looks like w/wings it could fly w/that power plant!

What are you looking to get for top speed....just curious.. Also out of curiosity, what are the specs. of the motor.

That should be enough torque to put the truck on it's lid w/out much trouble....

That is a much easier motor to rewind. Try and do what Brian said and make it direct drive. There are also tons of good BL motors out there that are a bit smaller. I have a few here and all I need to do is rewind them to handle the current and rasi the Kv a little.
All I have to say is wow, that thing is huge! I agree with the other guys though, direct drive with something that size would probably be perfect, and would make it alot more balanced. Looks great! And I want a video of that thing powering the truck around ASAP!!!
