Plettenberg Bigmaxximum with fan? - RC-Monster Forums

The Big maxximum is the best looking motor I've seen! The NUE looks great but the Pletty's look perfect (almost intimidating!) in a monster truck!

The fan idea is great too.

I've always been concerned by the service issues with Lehner, BK, Pletty, etc. I'm not a fan of waiting months for an item to be serviced nor the obstacles of shipping over seas and thru customs.

I dont remember the actual rotor size.

I havent heard anything about pletty service, its not something thats going to break often. However, Mtroniks is overseas and the service is outstanding. Comparable to CC, which is awesome. I smoked a Mtronik esc and within 10 days of sending it out I had a free replacement in hand. BK is horrible, shulze is worse.

To be honest, I don't understand why everybody says BK's service is horrible...I had great service with them. Yea, it took about a month, but thats not bad. I shipped it to FD and then they shipped it to Germany and then FD shipped me one from there inventory and BK covered them on it with there next order. Not to mention I think it fried because it got wet, but they replaced it for free...

My personal experience was, Ran the ESC less than 5 minutes and smoked a row of FETs. Sent it in, 9 months later they want to charge a repair fee, but Jamie at Starluck worked it out and didnt have to pay a fee. Kinda stinks for service on a $375 ESC.

You were dealing with FD, not BK. You would still be waiting if you were dealing with BK.

i've got a maximum with fan in my g2r revo (shorter than the big maxximum and higher kv) on 4s and it runs really NICE... i can't imagine needing anything more, wheelies at almost any speed... i've run it with a mamba max and a quarq with no issues... as far as support www.icare-rc.com is my contact and they in north america so no issues there... i don't know why they're not more popular here either... you've got 3 to choose from... they are pretty popular in europe
