Plettenberg

Thanks for the info. Plettenberg Big Maxx w/ fan times "TWO" is the way to go for me!!!! Yes, I did say TWO OF THEM!!!!! I am going to check the size of the Big Maxx and then see how much room I have on the Lightning and if two will fit then two it will have.

If you do a little checking on here you can find an old thread from about a year ago started by Matt aka "plettenberg" with his UE lightning setup with two Big Maxx motors installed. He ran it for a little while like that, but then realized that it was just too much power for the normal size Maxx truck and now he sports just one Big Maxx motor, but he has two trucks setup that way. He may pop in if he sees this thread.

I have my UE Lightning setup with one Big Maxx installed myself. It is just for show right now though as I am planning to install the Plettenberg "Bolido" motor once I have the money for one. It is much larger and a bit more powerful. It will be for high speed runs. Yes they do look awesome with the Plettenberg setups. Good luck with your porject Sir.

I assume you are talking about my planned setup with the "Bolido" motor. Yes it will be stupid awesome. I have had the chassis setup for a while now with a double mono block installed to stretch out the vehicle. It already has a very long custom stainless steel rear drivesaft from RCalloys, and if Mike ever releases the center diff mount we have been waiting on I will install a slipperential with this setup. I am sure it will take some tweeking to get the setup just right, but it will be loads of fun just going through the testing and adjustments trying to achieve 100mph+ with a UE lightning SuperMaxx. Thanks for your vote of confidence. Now I just have to wait until I have enough money to purchase the Bolido. Times are tough all over.

He knows matt already and I am sure he has seen his twin bigmaxx lightning. The only issue I have is, its much too easy to run a brushless setup not to take advantage and use it. To much money sitting on a shelf for only you to admire and not use it, is just boring imo. If you want to build a trophy, build a actual plastic scale model of something. RC cars are for playing with, not looking at, you can take it out & have some fun with it and still be able too look at and admire it. If your worried about damage just drive it in the grass like plettenbergs does. BTW IMO 2 neu motors are less expensive and just as good as 2 maximum motors and your helping the economy @ the same time buying american. We allready seen one brushless motor company(medusa) go out of business.
