I agree.

Really Daf?

My HV4.5 did 40mph on 4S and ran at 110* all day long (did a couple runs that were over an hour and the motor was ALWAYS at 110 monitored by telemetry).

I sure hope the 1950/6 gives me more than 40mph...because it alone is more than the entire HV system was. I'm hoping to get close to 50 out of the motor to be honest... (PS - I'll be using flightpowers if that makes a difference)

I was talking about race conditions. Just what I found. 40 on 4S works, but 5S is better for those speeds. Just what I found.
Of course you can squeeze out almost any speed of those setups for short speed runs.

I use FPs too.

The 1950 will have twice the power of that little Novak, no worries.

I have to admit, after one hour constant running, temps of 110°F sound like a serious miracle... just look at the efficiency: If you take the amount of energy that it takes to move your revo around for one hour, and only use 5% of this as heat loss, you'll still get a hot motor. Not saying you are wrong, but from what I learned in the world of Brushless, if you run for one hour and your motor is cool like that, you're either taking breaks, or you're crawling, or you have very very low ambient temps.

110° after a one hour race? I'd love to see that in person.

Just sharing my experience, no flames please.

I believe those are called bore reducers.

I am aware there is a 6mm to 5mm one and a 5mm to 3.17mm (1/8in) but I do not believe there is a 5mm to 4mm one...

[jhautz]

Yes, you can get a 5mm to 4mm reducer. I have a 5mm to 4mm and a 5mm to 1/8" reducer.

The only place I know of to get them is Mike. They look like a a PITA to make. I'm sure he can't be making any money on them, but he will make them for you if you request it.

[BP-Revo]

I stand corrected :)

[BrianG]

The bore reducer I got from Mike looks like it is aluminum. So, make sure your pinion grubs screws are in tight and use lock-tite because if the shaft spins inside the bore reducer, it will wear it and make the pinion wobble. Trust me, I know from experience...

[jhautz]

Brian you are right about that. I wouldnt consider the reduceres as a permanent solution. I bought mine when I first got my 1940/7 and didn't know what gearing i was going to need. I used the bore reducer with my 5mm pinions until I figured out what the right gearing was and then I bought the correct pinion gears with the 4mm bore.

Plus in a pinch if you loose your pinion and need to run a regular 5mm pinon to get you through the day, they are nice to have.

And just a few years ago, I used to hear that BK has a A+ customer service.

You guys should not depend so much on the " customer service" thing.

Treat it good, treat you good!

Phhhhhh..

Every electronic component breaks eventually, esp under the condits we ask them to perform. CS/support will be one of the big things holding BL back from going mainstream. How many will tolerate (esp nitro converts) a 6mos repair turn-around on a $200+ controller that fried? You'd miss the entire driving season. RCM Mike is awesome, but he can't be expected to fix everyone's controller that breaks (or anyone's really, he a good guy for helping.)

For the various faults of the MMax (which there are few) one of them is not CS. My wife fried mine accidently, I sent it back ($5 shipping), and had a brand new one on my doorstep in 3wks w/ an apology for taking so long. :043:
No matter what I do to it, the repair fee will only be $50 once the warr expires (which is an entire year.) For this reason alone I will be hard pressed to trade it away when it worked so well for me in the 8mos I've ran it.

I understand better now. Thanks!

I've never tried a customer service befor, though. And that does not mean I haven't fried a controller either.

Things I've fried are,

Futaba MC800 Controller.
Kontronik 6-18-40 controller.
Kontronik 10-32-55 controller.

Well, boo on whoever the hell Mike gets the Lenhers from - they lag BIGTIME. I've been waiting for my 1950/6 Hi-Amp for 6 months!

Mike is great though, has answered all of my 1.6 zillion questons and hasn't ignored for me even though I plague him for updates lol.

[aqwut]

have any 22 series lehner there?.... :)

[Finnster]

Are they already OOS?!!

[BP-Revo]

They are.
