The Outerwears mesh lets air flow but really keeps the junk out. I've used them on a lot of motors and they work well.
Sorry to hear about the 2230 size problem. I've sent Steve Neu a few e-mails asking him to update the 22XX sizes on his page, but nothing yet.

Did you do it with a Dremel? I am worried about getting it even. If you could post a close up pic of it that would be great!

As for the Outerwears that is a great idea. I did have a look at their Electric motor prefilters but they are far too small for the larger Neu and Lehner motors.

Let me know if you get an answer from Steven Neu on the size btw. Does your 2220 length match those from the chart?

Here is the motors I'll be testing. Still waiting for batteries so no telling how long I have to wait until I get to try them out.

I may give them a call and ask. It is a problem that sizes are not accurate.

It was just the back countersunk mount that got broken off. If you watch the video in HD quality and go fullscreen you can see the damage fairly clearly. It can probably be fixed by drilling an new hole or something but it is an exposed area so a rear bumper may be a good thing to consider.

Thomatrix- seriously powerful buggy there!!! Thanks for sharing.

Now thats how a baja should perform! GREAT JOB!

[thomatrix]

Thanks. I think it's the most powerful setup I've seen to date and as you can see I have a hard time controlling it on the limited space and slippery surface. Putting that kind of power down is not easy.

I very much look forward to testing it on a surface with more grip.

Now going to test the Lehner 3060. See description on YouTube:

Very nice setup you've got too. Not many vids around and I did not see your build thread until now.

Thanks for sharing it here!
