neu vs mega?

[Revracer]

seems to me like $150 for this motor is well worth it. so im looking at probly a ~$250 setup once i get the ESC and motor.whats with the noise though? that sounds different from other brushless motors ive run. its loud too. does that truck have a center diff? didnt look like it but it might have been there. if not then will it not lift up just cause of length and it sits low? can you see it doing wheelies easily without a center diff in a MT? geared for about 45mph?

That truck was in a bad crash. I lost signal and it went straight into a curb. The pinion and spur is not that well aligned and I had to play with it a bit to have them run somewhat smooth. The conversion kit came with a slipper, but I took it out because the spur gear had melted. The spur gear for the Savage is working good so far and it is not a solid center kind of like the one in my BPP truck. When I had the center diffs in my buggy and truck it would still do wheelies, but the unloading to the front wheels afterwards was really messing the tires very fast. Mega makes a strong motor. The magnets are strong like the Neu motors, but the Megas have 6 poles and will draw less AMPs. Keep in mind that electric motors have the uniqueness of getting power from torque.

Yes i know. so the 20/30/1 at 3500 kv on a 3s lipo will give me roughly 38000 rpms(stockish speeds) and has the torque of brushless so it will be a gearbox/tire killer(which is fine because they all need replacing anyways). wheelies on demand with the motor? no where close to the amp draw that the esc and battery put out. so everythign will run cool. sounds liek a hell of a motor to me.

My Schulze controller never felt better. I was also impressed on how the MM handled the motor after the update.

what update?

The new firmware for the MM version 1.17.

I didn't really notice a difference with my mega and MM after the FW update, it was smooth before and after.

I also don't really notice any difference in noise but my car is using a steel spur and pinion so that's mostly all I hear

[lutach]

Before the update, my MM used to cog and sounded kind of like a grinder. Sometimes it would go forward and backwards. It would also tend to heat up. After the update it did much better.

ok either way the new one will most likely come with it. and both of yall say good motor for a heavy truck on 3s? possibly 4s one day?

I think 3S lipos will be good for the ACn22/30/1.

[Revracer]

alright i think ill order it within the next week or so then.

I am looking to put the 2500 Kv version of that Mega motor in an Ofna GTP on 6S A123 cells. I am looking to gear it for 60 - 70 mph. Nothing faster than that. Well that and bullet acceleration.

you could probly run something slightly higher in KV and still get rocket accelereation. considering its a 6 pole(naturally more torque) and if lutach isnt lieing about how amazing the motor is im sure it will give you everythign you want.

If they say a picture is worth 1000 words, how about a video . If I had my choice of motors here they are: Neu (First because they are here in the US and RC-Monster sells them), Plettenberg (Icare-rc sells them), Mega (They have an office in the US, but still needs 6-8 weeks to get special winds in), Lehner (They would be in first if RC-Monster still carried them). I might add another one later if they get made or if I get a sample to try out.

lutach are you sure they are not kevlar wrapped on mega usa site I believe they say they are
