Insides of a Plett (in case anyone is interested...)

I have tried it just a little on 6s, waiting for my MMM to get back to give it the real test.

What are you running the motor in?

It is great motor and I still have bad fellings towards Serum he compared this motor with 7XL!!!!!!!

This is the best motor you can get from Germany, even Lehner is nothing to compare.
At the time Sculze was the only one ESC which can handle this motor, but now MGM can do great and I hope MMM and MM with 1.17 software.

You cannot bring feigao to the level of Plett, even if you gold plated it!!!!

Balancing is very important and plett is the best in that area. I had plett's , lehner, feigao 1-4, nemesis, mega, medusa, kontronic, align, axi, aveox ... and none of them can even get close to plett.

It is not advertisement, it is pure facts, if you have budget than plettenberg is the motor for you.

BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO UTILIZE 4-6 POLE MOTOR it is not the same as 2-pole and BrinG calculator doesn't work great here either, not that Brian is wrong, it is very unique motor case.

GO PLETTENBERG, all the rest is HYPE - 'TRUE HYPE" not by Patrick

Good info Artur. I have had alot of success running my plett motors with quark escs. I will try your mod1 MM with the maxx w/fan on 4s. It is doing fine with the quark 125b, but I prefer the programability of the MM and the lvc settings.

What would you suggest I set the timing at on the MM for the plett? I am guessing that higher timing will be better. Patrick mentioned that the MM auto figures the timing, and the adjustment is in that range, not from a baseline setting. If that is the case, normal timing should work for the plett? Or should I go higher?

Auw, that feels like a stab in the back Arthur. I always considered you where intelligent enough to see things in perspective.

Fact of a matter was that the 9920 and the 7XL preformed the same in my savage than the schulze/bigmaxx setup, so i jumped to that conclusion, considering the schulze setup was more than twice as expensive. my schulze burned, the bigmaxx his bearings where having play after a few runs. the 9920 didn't die on me, it was the entire setup i was impressed about. I guess i didn't know how to utilize the holy setup!

Maybe you can teach us how to utilize a 4 pole motor, and maybe this holy grale pays off.

No, how I can do that to you, Rene.
The reason I mentioned your name is that any time we talking about plett's your posting with that comparison is always coming to play. And what is clear for you and couple other members here is not that obvious for the rest, while they do remember the BAD comments.
I bought couple used plett's and bearings were great, bearing failure can happen to any motor.
I use plett with MGM and Scultze ESC's, normal timing, geared for 25-30kRPM with 18 cell's NiMh or 5S LiPo. Plett has nice torque curve, but plett wasn't rated for high current and not for wide RPM range (it would spin up to 70000RPM, but temp would go as well).
Haven't use plett with CC controllers, no input here.

It's all good Artur, i was surprised to see your reaction, it must be the language barrier that isn't offering any help either.

The Neu 15151Y motor on the other hand (which could be largely compared to the bigmaxx, 4 pole, same KV) is capable of 6S (according to castle) i wonder what it does on 6S, i can only imagine a drivetrain to go south pretty soon, since it's an incredible powerhouse on 4 and 5S allready.

I spoke to plettenberg on a show in Germany, they claimed the KV of the bigmaxx and the maxximum can be wound different on request (no warrantee though) 1700Kv for the bigmax and 2200 kv for the maxximum.

I want one of these to run my UE Lightning when I get it finished, but need a 5mm shaft since its going to be one of my heavier MTs, prob the heaviest.

yes, it`s 5mm shaft. only the maxximum without fan is 3.17mm. the maxx /fan and the bigmaxx have 5mm.

If you convert that over for 6 pole, it would be 52,000 rpm. The big max is supposed to be 2300 kv, so 22.2 x 2300 = 51,060 rpm, which makes more sense and leads me to believe it IS actually a 6 pole motor.

the bigmaxx is also 4pole actually...

one bigMaXXimum is great...two is GREATER!

That truck is a Monster. How does it run? Looks like a lot of fun.
