what kind of gearing do I need and what will be topspeed?

will it do wheelies?

how much rpm has the 3600 and how much power (watts)?

[RC-Monster Mike]

The xl3600 revs at 3600 rpm/volt. The Lehner basic and basicxl motors are rated for 65000 rpms (vs 50000 for the Feigaos). The xl motors are rated for 1300 watts, but I doubt 12 cells will deliver that much power and I also doubt the maxx can put down that much power (traction limitation). It should wheelie pretty easily and top speed can reach into the 50 mph range with the right gearing. With 1/8 diffs and 22/66 gearing, the speed should top out between 40 and 50mph, depending on tire growth, voltage drop, etc..

[supermaxx]

so I need an 66 teeth spur gear and a 22 teeth pinion gear?

[supermaxx]

where can I get a 22 teeth pinion gear in steal or aluminium?

Is it true that hacker says: "Our motor has 1400 watts of power" but that will be with much more cells than twelve. Do you think this lehner with 12 cells have as much power as the hacker or less?

[RC-Monster Mike]

The 3600 on 12 cells will feel like more power than the c50 maxx motor. The statement " "Our motor has 1400 watts of power" but that will be with much more cells than twelve." is true. I don't think 12 cells can deliver that power. Half or maybe 2/3 of that power is about all you will likely see on 12 cells. This is quite a bit of power, mind you.

[supermaxx]

for more power I have to run it on 14 or 16 or 18 cells.

what's the maximum for the lehner?

[supermaxx]

I know somebody which runs two 4200's lehner and I think it's slower tha the single hacker setup I had or his bl setup. Please look the movies and pics: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ryan.coombes/emaxx.htm

14 cells would be very nice for the 3600. The 3600 should stay below 15 cells to be within its rated rpm limits. I have seen Candyman's video before. He has a hell of a nice truck! I agree, also, that a dual setup offers no real advantage to a properly selected single setup. The dual motors he used are capable of about half the power of the basic XL motors (he used regular basic motors), so it would make sense that a basicxl would likely beat his truck by simply being lighter. Batteries of course make a tremendous difference in overall performance(am I repeating myself!?). I like the 3600 on 12 cells, personally (I even like the 3100 on 12 cells). I race on a track, though, which a little different than your intended purpose, so you could push it a little harder without much trouble.

Ok,

I understand everything and thanks for the help. I know what to buy and I will inform you guys when. Do you ship with fedex on my fedex account?

[RC-Monster Mike]

I haven't in the past, but I am certainly not opposed to it.

I have been reading this and am intrigued by the power outputs of these motors. I am about to stick a Novak HV Maxx into my truck and at 12 cells its rated at 375 watts. However, the motor is rated at 475 watts. The HV Maxx is 4400 kv/volt. I know the power output is different but if you race an emaxx with the novak system on 14 cells vs an emaxx with the lehner 3600xl on 14 cells. What would the outcome be? Would the 3600xl win due to the torque or will the Novak win due to the rpms?

[RC-Monster Mike]

The Novak rpm numbers are calculated a lot differently than other manufacturers for some reason. The 3600 probably gets more rpms than the Novak and would most likely put a spankin' on it with relative ease. The Lehner basic 4200 runs about the same speed as the novak ss 5800 (see the difference in rating!?). The Lehner system is a lot lighter than the HV as well.

[rc4x4nut]

That is weird. I have to to change my brushless setup. The novak is pretty heavy. The motor itself is weighs 8 oz. I want to run the 3600xl on 14 cells. I am going to be running the komodo dragon tires so it would be like running 1/8 scale buggy tires geared for 40mph. Can the 9918 handle this motor?

[RC-Monster Mike]

It will handle it without a problem with the komodo tires. it will be silly powerful on 14 cells (hard to drive kind of power!).
