Question about Lehner (for E-Revo)
 

I was thinking about trying a Lehner motor in my E-Revo. A 1940 or 1950, but I´m not sure wich one to get. Can anyone recomend a god one ?

I´m driving 4s / 6s lipo´s and the esc will be the MMM when it´s isues are sorted out (ore maybe MGM - would like advices about wich one to get here to)

Hoping for your help
Regards

If you really want to use the same motor on 4S and 6S, I'd suggest an 1950/8... but gear down when you step up the voltage.

I'd think a 1950 would be too insane. A video of a 1930 in a converted revo:

Huh :neutral:

A Lehner 1950 in a Revo is perfectly fine. People put Neu 1515s in Revos, apparently with good results.

Even just 3 or 4 years ago a 1950 in a MT was The Shit, and they are still great motors.
Those who have or had one know what I'm talking about.

Sure, a 1950/8 on 6S is a lot of motor. Don't expect the stock traxxas drivetrain to hold up for long.

The nerve of some people, eh? :lol: After all, you wer one of the first (if not THE first) pioneer to convert a Revo to electric.

A few years ago, I remember seeing Daf's Revo conversion and wanting to do the same. I still recall when I posted questions at the TRX forum and he said to come on over here. The rest is history.

Would an 1940/8 be alternative for a milder setup?

A 1940 seems to be similar in size to a 1512 or a c50 L can. I have used an aveox 36/30 motor (similar to a 1512) in a revo with success. I was using the 2 speed and mech brakes though, so less load. I currently run my slayer conversion with a c50 l can and it does fine. Using motor brakes and the tranny locked in second. The slayer is lighter than a revo and has smaller/lighter tires. I am sure a 1940 would be fine if it was geared correctly in a lighter MT.

My plett maxx w/fan seems to do fine in the emaxx, and it is a similar size to a 1940/1512 motor.

A 1950 motor is fine in a revo. I ran one in mine for a long time. That said... A 1940 will be pleny of motor also. I ran a 1940/7 on 5s in my heavy 12+lb Savage geared for 45 mph and it absolutly rocked. I love the lehner motors. If they had any kind of customer service at all I would prefer them to the Neu. They feel more pepy than the Neus but still run very cool. I think they are still every bit as good a the Neu motors.

^+1 that!

I love my Lehners, if they were easier to get, I would likely run all lehners!:great:

FD RC sells them still... But will Chris really RIP YOU OFF?

I have had issues with chris standing behind any type of warrenty. With that said lehners are great motors. I hae had a few over the years. Bought two from mike and two from chris. My second motor in a lst2 conversion was a 6turn high amp 1950 and all I can say is WOW what a motor. My hyperion 5s 5000mah 20c battery wasnt up to the task for handling that kind of power though. (the 5000mah 20c was the top of the line a few years back when I bought it)

I know the revo is lighter than a lst but I wouldnt go anything less than a xl size 2 pole motor in a mt. It greatly helps with heat. Also I wouldnt ecommend the 6 turn highamp unless you just want speed runs!!! :)
