Leopard brushless motor

[nuz69]

It depends if you stop pushing the trigger in time I think ^^

I use the leopard 4074 2150kv + 3s + ezrun sc8 in a buggy of 4kg in races of about 15min ........... the temperature of the motor is great ..... never up 55cº

I have neus and xeruns and the temperature of the leopard are lower than the others ....... using the correct gearing ;)

leopard 4282 + 9s = will kill the motor sure :p

if you search use this motor in crazy projects I recommend max 4-6s

2150kv on 3s is pretty tame, and I don't think any motor whatsoever would get hot with that kind of setup and right gearing.

for races in 1/8tt you dont need more power than 3s +2150kv ............ in my races people use 2200+4s and 2650+3s and the speed is the same

this is my last race ....... I used a xerun 4274 and the temperature arrived at 65cº....... using the leopard 4074 provably will be 50-55cº

On your track, maybe 3S + 2200Kv is enough... But in classic euro tracks, 4S 2200Kv with high gearing is requiered ^^ ~40-42mph.

Very nice, but I wonder how hot it would get if you pushed it? With, say, 6s and bashing (Not racing obviously..)

Still, the fact that it's colder than Xerun is quite impressive. Xerun's are getting pretty well known for quality, and Leopard is much cheaper than that Xerun motor.

Hi everyone, i was thinking of getting a leopard 2000kv 4082 for my brushless truggy and using it on 4s. The motor will be bought off ebay. I had a look at leopards website and they dont have a 2000kv 4082 motor. Is this motor the 2000kv 4082 only exclusive to kershaw desings?? help will be much appreciated. thanks

Yeah, it's exclusive to Kershaw. Says so here, on his site: http://204.186.93.64/BrushlessMotors-Leopard.htm

website no update ... kv2000 is 4082 or 4282 3D winding ...

Regarding the RPM limit from Off Shore... I'd guess its a matter of the application rather than the motor. Think about it... even 25k RPM is mind boggling for a propeller... you need the right prop or you'll just make alot of bubbles :)

Hope it made sense?

That's exactly right, the RPM limit on OSE is regarding boat applications.

Heh heh, Hobbyking isnt a naughty word on this forum, only on the idiot forum ( traxxas ).

Really impressive seeing the size of that truck compared to everything else at the track, handles pretty well too for it's size & weight..

the esc is a xerun 150a ...... is easy to see in the photo :D

the xerun is one of the best esc I used ....... I think better than the mmm ;)

yippieee!

just have received my leopard 4082 1500 kv! after I had problems with my leo 4074 (smoked winding, don't know the reason) I am back with a leo. the ts x801 I am currently using is great, but gets too hot for my taste.

It's for my lrp truggy, I just love the feeling of a little too much power.

And I love torque, especially at low rpm. That's why I go with 1500kv on 5s (running 5s for ages now). I wished they had the 1600kv, but was not available.

the 2000kv 4074 was a good motor, but I am too used to lower kv at 5s, like 1600-1700kv as I had before.

keep you posted

I have the 4082 1600kv (originally wanted the 1500kv), running on 6s zippy 30c lipos in an MBX5T.

Pretty awesome so far, no complaints at all, especially for the price ($85).
Heaps of power, stays cool, smooth and just a brilliant performer all round.
I don't race it though.
