[Switch]

Like the title says. I heard these were good kinda wanna check them out so where can I get one

[Basstronics]

Those aussie sites are expensive to us americans.

I got a 3674 2400kv Looking for a home. A few minutes testing only.

[KTM_EXC]

Hi,
in my experience you can buy directly from TP ( http://www.tppower.com ); an email ( sales@tppower.com ) is fine.

[jkr]

I suggest you better buy a leopard.
Only the 6pol 56xx-58xx worth from them.

[scottw]

I would be very suprised if TP were selling the motors direct therefore cutting out the dealers???

I was looking at there 4060 for my 40" outlaw. I have heard that these are a much higher quality than the leopard with a better value for the money and still cheaper than a Neu. IDK just like everyone else out there I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck.

[Basstronics]

Not happy with performance of my 3674 2400kv. Not sure if thats an indicator of their other motors or just my luck.

[Switch]

Hmmmmm maybe I will just try a leopard then to start with. thinking a 4092/5D 1050KV running on 8s. Hoping for 60+mph

that's a fact; maybe in Italy no dealer exists

Hmm.
If i were you and i had an esc that can handle 10s i would go for this:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=19111
Because of the 8mm shaft.
Over 4082 you need 8mm shaft on the motor.

[crrcboatz]

Someone on this site reported the above HK motor had a 10mm shaft on it. getting a collet for that would be impossible or at the very least expensive. They show them as havin 8mm shafts but this person said his delivered had a 10mm shaft.

[carlcisneros]

CRRCBOATZ;
his and a few others that i know of (they were from Germany) that ordered that motor came with 10mm shaft on theirs.

[Fluid]

Lehner 30 series motors come with 10mm shafts. Couplers are not hard to find, they are not cheap - but then they are of very high quality. I have several.

not so...
the 4060 4 pole motors are good
and Steven was selling the 4050 with a T180 I think

5mm comes on the Leopard 4092
8mm is not needed on a 40mm motor

[Fluid]

not so...the 4060 4 pole motors are good and Steven was selling the 4050 with a T180 I think. Nope, based on his testing Steve elected not to sell the TP motors (other than a few he had been sent as samples).


5mm comes on the Leopard 4092...8mm is not needed on a 40mm motorActually an 8mm shaft is badly needed on the longer motors like the 1527 - we saw 'way too much shaft whip in the old Neus with 5mm shafts. The internal shaft that is, it doesn't really matter what diameter it is turned down to on the PTO end.

nope he came back and said they were good... reason he sold more
and there are many who agree the TP POWER motors are good runners and run cooler than the same sized Leopards

[carlcisneros]

My TP Power 4092 1600KV running on 6s2p, x-447 de-tongued in my 39" Youngblood mono is running fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
actually pulls a couple of the faster gas monos in the area. :thumbup1: (and they aint no slouches.)

[785boats]

Yep. I run a couple of TP Power 4084 2180kv motors in a hydro & a mono. They outperform the Leopards of the same size in the same boats, on any day of the week ending in Y. They run cooler. The boat runs faster. And they use a bit less out of the packs doing it over a 5 lap race.

my temps are down 40* and use about 15% less from my packs during a 6 lap race..

[Basstronics]

Maybe someone can tell me why the 3674 2400 kv sucks then?

Im a bit disappointed in the performance...

I hope the 4082 performs better as i have one to replace a 4074 leopard with.

[jkr]

Their wattage ratings aren't true.Almost 10% less than Leos.

[Basstronics]

Neither is the KV. My 2400 kv is only turning 2200kv...

I realize there is some margin of error but I would assume it to be much tighter than this...

Amps... 80amps and its rated to 130. Thats it. After 80 amps there is no performance gain.

[jkr]

As said only the 56xx-58xx because of the 6pol rotor.
It is hard to beat Leos on this price range at 4pol.

[Brushless55]

Ratings are bogus.. My TP motors runs way better than my Leopard in my DF33

How do you know it's 2200 not 2400
Do you have the right timing on the TP ?

[Basstronics]

Because someone with the tools tested the motor and that was the results.

Im not 100% where the timing is, but I believe its been tested on a few settings available on my esc. Trust me, person working on this boat knows his stuff.

does not add up to what others including my self are seeing with these awesome motors

Hello guys....


Concerning quality, and having in the past, Lehner, Hacker, Neu, Plettenberg , Feigao, Mega Motors, i just can say that concerning Price/quality ratio are very good motors!
There assembly quality, and material quality seems fair for the price!

There are TOP league motors, that everyone know!

Hacker,Kontronik,Plettenberg,Neu and Lehner....PERIOD...

But you pay what you get..... You can´t have an high quality motor, like Lehner or Neu, without paying their development, Special steel stator, bearings quality, magnet quality, cooper winding quality, for the price of an feigao.....


Lehner motors have a efficeincy, in some motors above 96%...do anyone know what this means?

At 5000 watts absorving power we have 4800 watts converted in to mechanical power and 200watt dissipated as heat!( Nice soldering iron by the way) :tongue:

At the same given absorving power, with an efficiency off 85%, wich isn´t bad, we have 4250 watts converted in to mechanical power and 750 watt dissipated as heat!....Many small room house heaters have this power......
Of course we are talking about Continuous Power, and not peak power....That´s why an industrial motor that weights 30 lb provides the same power, but works 14 hours a day,in mine case or even 24.....


For the ones that want to compare the quality of TP Power motors you have some videos of it:

We are comparing the twin 5850 in a 240cm hull length againts the cream of a crop lenher 3080..

Tp 5850

Lenher 3080


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk07WqDnwVY


Considering that 1 TP 5850 costs 215€ and a Lehner 3080 costs 630€ aprox....You get mine Point..

It´s not the same thing, i know...but :wink:

[ManuelW]

Hi Gerardo,

what do you mean with
We are comparing the twin 5850 in a 240cm hull ?

The boat is a Mystic 240 from mudl (Helmut D.) from PBF Passau. Do you know him or supporting him?

regards,
Manuel

[Basstronics]

Maybe I just got a lemon then, which can happen. Im going to try the 4082 2200kv in my Pursuit and hope for the best. if not I got a replacement for that one.

Now I need to fund another motor for my rigger since the TP isnt cutting the mustard... Only the cheese.

I don't know him neither i support him....

I'm just comparing 2 TP5850 motors in a 240cm Hill against 2 lenher 3080 in The same Hull...at least as it seems ....dont know if The props or he lipos are The same.....

could be??
if it was me and because how well my TP Power motors run, I would check the bullet connectors on the motor, and change the timing on the esc :biggrin:

and talking about rigger motor... I do have a TP 4092 2600kv that would be nuts in my JAE! :w00t:

[785boats]

Basstronics.
The motor is a 'D' wind & only wants 1 - 3 degrees timing (same with the 4082 2200kv motor) If it was running with a high timing, it would loose a few revs for sure. And run hotter.
I forgot to change the timing on an ESC from 15 degrees for an 8xl motor, down to 1 degree for the TP Power motor when I swapped them & the boat ran slower & with more heat than it should of. My mistake was pointed out to me by a fellow boater. The timing was adjusted & the next run was perfect.

[Basstronics]

I believe it got changed to 0 degrees or maybe the next step up 3.

Im just going to replace it with a Neu 1415 and let her rip.

[twissted]

This is good stuff! I shure like the way the 94" boat jumped out of the water! To make a boat this size move like that, it takes a lot of motor as well as big esc's and Lipos.:banana: Regaurdless of cost the tp5850 seems to the job nicely. I personly run motors that Hor racing sells and I'm pretty shure they are made by TP Power. I can tell you this. They run like crazy. I find that they run cool as well. I run my Zonda that I made some changes to the pair of 180 esc's and notched the lip of the boat cabin so that I can fit the 6s nano 65-130c lipos over the drive shafts. I stuff stiff foam around the batteries to holed them in place. these boats come with 3674 motors and they are very impressive. The boats are a steal at 550.00. I also run a SSS5694 that is very powerfull and will be getting more to do a 60" cat build. I plan on running it on 8s. This will keep the boat build well under 2000.00 because I have the batteries already that I run in my 1/5 scale buggies:rockon2:
