Plettenberg vs. Neu?

Plettenbergs quality is second to none and are easily the same quality as Neu's or Lehners if not even a little better , I have all three in a variety of sizes . The pletts are enormously powerful and have huge torque for there size . the big maximum is based on the plett 220 frame, Neu's on the other hand are probably the most efficient out of the three............

hi

yes the quality of the plettenberg is above reproach. we run severeal of those motors here only in very dirty offroad applications. i have one here that is used all-season since autumn 2003 with zero issues. still no play on the bearings or anything. it runs like on the first day. they are designed for offroad applications and need no modifications for that like others do.

so i'm still considering either a BM or a 1515/1y. Which would be a better choice if i was to run on 6s??

I know that the BM's max rpm is upto 70,000, whereas the Neu's is only 60,000. Would that play much of a part?

thanks

I doubt many gear trains would take that level of beating for any length of time

true, but i think mine would hold up for a bit longer than most

so, any input on the motor situation?

thanks

the two motors are both like 2200 rpmv.
maybe with 6s you want to go with a lower rpm/v motor ( in the range of 1500 rpmv). btw the missing availability of many different windings is the biggest (and maybe only) drawback of the plettenberg.
but i may be wrong and that NEU and/or the bigmaxx run good on 6s. it seems to me you go in a rather high rpm range. i guess correct gearing would be important.

Why not just run 4s?
