Kontronik Fun 600-17

OK, my interest is sparked. These motors can be had for a good price in the States. I've found the 600-17 without having to look too hard and it appears that it might be in line with a 1512 Neu motor, although it (Fun) is a two poler. I'm hoping that the MM will like this motor. From the looks of it, this may be a good alternative for a light truggy.

I would much prefer a 600-18 or 600-21, but can't find one that isn't included in a kit. If any one has a link to one in the States, please post it or PM it to me, please. I'm going to order one of these before the night is over.

I don't want to have to wait for a Lehner and I'm just disgusted with Neu/Quark right now.

The video you are referring to does not show the performance of my actual setup therefore i didn't posted it here since i considered it offtopic. At this time i was using 1 year old gp3700s, a Genius 70 controller which was only capable of 700 Watts and an Graupner 600m 8 pole Motor.

This is a screenshot from the video


And here are the links to the video

You're right about my mah consumption. It's high. But i would not blame the motor for it, since i got similar readings with my 8 pole Graupner 600M. It mostly has something to do with the challenging sort of racetrack where i drive. The rather high wheight of my setup. The relative high KV motor. And of course my driving style. The tires i have mounted have a good bite even on dirt and are rather big for buggy tires. All that together sums up to 450mAh per minute on a dirt surface when pushing things to the limit.

On my maiden drive i only had 150mah per minute. Tyres had no grip. Differentials where not setup properly so all the motor power unloaded to the front tyres. At this time i only had Amp peaks of 50 Amp. As i tuned my setup Amps went higher and higher. My Actual setup can draw up to 120 Amps which is the limit of my batts and esc.
