Insides of a Plett (in case anyone is interested...)

these are 4pole motors actually...
as mentioned above, slotted stator paired with a multi-pole rotor [armoured via kevlar shell] is the 'basic configuration' for plettenberg car motors...

10-15 degrees of advanced timing will lead to smoother start-ups and enhanced power [for this particular genre of motors]. when combined with a switching rate of 13-19khz, it will also yield the best possible efficiency.

the rotor diameter is 22mm if i recall correctly.

Nice photo, thanks....

I also want to know where to get kevlar stirng and what is the best high temp epoxy to use...

kostaktinos_mt - is that a 5mm shaft? Sure looks bigger. Thanks for the pics, you can tekk how well engineered it is the build quality is obvious.

I want one of these to run my UE Lightning when I get it finished, but need a 5mm shaft since its going to be one of my heavier MTs, prob the heaviest.

yes, it`s 5mm shaft. only the maxximum without fan is 3.17mm. the maxx /fan and the bigmaxx have 5mm.

I always thought the Pletts were 4 pole, they even have P4 (poles 4?) in the part number. After running my big maxx on the MGM controller and looking at the peak rpm (when set for 4 pole), I get a max rpm of 78,000 on 6s (22.2 volts) in the software. If you convert that over for 6 pole, it would be 52,000 rpm. The big max is supposed to be 2300 kv, so 22.2 x 2300 = 51,060 rpm, which makes more sense and leads me to believe it IS actually a 6 pole motor.

The ones that use the P4 are 4 pole motors. Most of the Plettys are 6 poles.

the bigmaxx is also 4pole actually...

That truck is a Monster. How does it run? Looks like a lot of fun.

can some one tell me where to get kevlar string?

and this is what a bigmaxximum looks like.

OOOHHH!!!

I really would like to have a Big Maxx, Expecially considering how well the Maxx w/fan runs in my emaxx! I bet that 5s with the big maxx would be a handfull!

And 6s with a big maxx is more than a handful, he he

Have you ran one on 6s? I bet that would be crazy...
