Hi Ryan!

Nice to see, you found your way to this forum ;)

I didn't knew you where powerhungry!

Here is one thing i read on a German forum;

A guy switched from motor (bigmaxximum to Lehner 2240/8) he also converted his savage to centerdiff. (very heavy build truck indeed (not in general, but the way he build it. With massice aluminium plates etc) i think a rough 1-1,5 kg heavier than your maxx and he said, that his 2240/8 had about the same power on 16 cells than his bigmaxx on 18. Knowing your unnatural silver addiction i don't know if this motor suits your needs. (though Poll®©) could help you out..

Those GP2200's, They are also 100A rated, according to the hopf-shop (A-status battery supplier) they kick out the same voltage on a 100A load than the 3300's


I want to buy a 22XX family motor. A very heavy truck (CEN .46) is able to hit the 100 km/h with a 2280 and 20 cells. (3300's). It's a heavy load for a heavy truck though i can imagine, you will be pusing your batteries to the maxx with the current it needs on such a rellative small amount amount of cells on such a HUGE motor.....

But, this becomes very interesting, what about the GP2000's?!~

35 gramms each, (10 gramms lighter than the GP2200's ) 30A continues discharge, 50A for 30 seconds and 5 seconds for 100A

How higher the voltage on most of these setups, the more efficient they get too. (and the lower the current draw will be) So you could consider a Lehner 2240/XX (10/11) , using 30 of these GP2000's (same weight as 16 gp3300's!!!!!!!)

What are you waiting for.. sell the bigmaxx and the schulze, use some good oll' elbow grease and poll on that lehner... (only downsider on this is that these GP2000's are about 5 euro's each.. Worth the investment?) Or just wait a few

That 2240 motor is able to throw out about 60 n/cm of torque, about the same weight as the bigmaxx (450g) On 18/20 GP3300's it would be a blast too.. (i would get rid of my 18.97 too, if i was buying another motor)

It would be nice if Promod dropped a little message here, he is very familliar with these highpowered setups and has got a eagletree data recorder to be the judge in his experiments.

But your question about another motor would be more powerfull on 16 cells;

I personally doubt that. The plettenberg is able to pull the maxxmimum power your cells can deliver (about 1600 watt) (100W/cell) It's the efficiency of the motor that would make a difference.. A small difference if you ask me. You need more volts to juice your maxx! All and all, the GP2200's are nice, because they fit your chassis. The GP2000's are nice too, but they need a special chassisplate to fit in nice..

The Lehner motors are topnotch motor's. all the crazy speedrecords in the water are made with these motors.
