My Crt.5 - RC-Monster Forums

It is a nice motor, was wondering if you can order it with a 5mm shaft? If so it would be great. I know that they offer a few different kv choices, mine is a 3100kv which is the std (I think?).

Nice! I had the same idea with the 13t gear from the e-maxx trans. I was able to drill it out, but not tap it. I guess I have to heat it up and let it cool slow, then heat it up and quench it really quick?

Bye

I'm looking for a 3S motor to run on my CRT.5, but that Plettenberg looks expensive and heavy. Is there someone in the US that sells them and has info on a web site?

lincpimp I like the DIY blacksmithing. It will be interesting to see how it holds up!!

As far as I can see, icarerc.com is a health insurance site. I am looking for help with a busted plettenberg, if there's someone local, I'd really like to know.

All I did was heat it up to red/orange and let it cool by itself and it drilled and tapped easily. I always chuck my taps in the drill press and use it to keep the tap straight as it threads into the material. To harden the gear, I heated it up till it was orange/red and dropped it into a can full of oil and let it fully cool. I just did the same thing with the 18t gear as well, I will have to try it out in something else.

I ran the crt.5 again for another 30min and the gear seems to be holding up fine. Looks like it will last, but I will update after a few more packs.

HAHA, getting there, actually I need to sell off a few as I would like to get a baja ss kit, looks badass!

I also adjusted my MM half way thru the second run. I moved the start power from low to normal. Wow what a difference. The plett starts very smoothly now, almost as good as a sensored motor. I have to hand it to CC and their pc interface, really easy to use and it does make a difference!

If you want a Maxximum with a 5mm shaft, you have to order the Maxximum with fan. Here you see the the Maxximum with fan next to your Maxximum

The kv of both the Maxximum is 3000, but if you contact Plettenberg, you can get also a 2200kv version.

Thanks Bl-Power, I thought that plett would provide a differnt kv if asked. Is the fan really necessary? My plett runs extrenmely cool, like 100f after 30mins, if that. Maybe on a larger/heavier vehicle that could provide a bigger load?!

In such a light vehicle like yours, a fan isn't necessary. The fanned version is only needed in heavier vehicles, here in Germany some people are using the fanned Maxximum in their E-Maxx and Revo conversions. They get up to 1400watt out of it, their motor doesn't get hotter than 150f even if they are running through high grass in summer.

Old thread, but I figured that I would dig it up.

I am currently running a novak hv 6.5r in the crt.5 with the MM on a 5000 3s neuenergy lipo. Not really powerful enough for me, and it cogs badly at times from a standing start.

I have played with all of the settings and found that low timing, high start power, and the punch control disabled is the best. Still not very good startup. I will try direct soldering the motor to the esc, and then try another mm esc I have. Even with the punch control disabled, and the big battery, it still lacks the punch I would like. I may try thicker center diff oil, but it seems fine, not much ballooning.
