Pics of hand w/LRP Vector 8 motor

The motor has to balls for big vehicles. But it does work well in my crt.5 in an parkinglot roadcourse running with a 15T pinion. Crt.5 came alive with 20T pinion and temps where still normal....with the fan attached!

hi,

I've seen that motor in action last weekend, here in Hamburg/Germany. In the beginning, the motor got quite hot (about 80 deg. c), after that I've cut a big hole in the shell, and I think the fan on the motor didn't work first.

later the motor was - like that - around the 50 deg. C/122f (or a bit more), but not really dangerously hot.

the car was pretty fast. The motor has a small magnet, therefore it needs high rpm.

the new esc stayed cool all the time, pretty good for such a small esc.

there's a mod on the motor to keep it cool, put some thermal lube on the inner side of the motor like that:

it's in German, but you only have to look at the pics...

Anyone know the dimensions of the motor without the fins? The fins look pretty big and I wonder how big the motor is just of the can itself.

I saw quite a few of these at this weekend's Associated race at OCRC and didn't see any die, but I was only there for an hour. The buggies that ran them performed pretty well, but didn't seem to have the torque of the larger Neu-Castles and Tekins.
