New motors from China, Uh Oh Lehener, watch out! Sneak peek!

Interesting website. I like that 12000W power supply. The Beast x528 Motor looks interesting too as does the look of the Swordfish ESC they have. Very interested to see who will eventually carry all of these products and the pricing. Reliability is a concern but I'm sure if it's price low enough, people will give it a shot.

Sure, but you miss the point - why have one motor with two Kvs - just buy the Kv you want - it's a gimmick. Anyway, 17,000 rpm is too slow unless you just want to duplicate gas performance, and I'm dubious that the 600 Kv motor would swing a 75mm prop on 8S with an amp draw an ESC could survive. And why use 8S with such a big motor when you can get the same performance with lower amp draw and longer run times with 10S? I'll believe the 6300 watts continuous rating when I see it - hope


.

The watt rating mite be like stereo manufacturers using pmpo lol

The swordfish 120 is carried by HK as the newer Turnigy Aquastar with programmer.

I dont see having 2 winds as a gimmick at all. Rarely do I own one motor that stays in only one boat for the entire time I own the motor. That makes it very versatile. Also for the sport boater, maybe you had running a certain voltage in mind, but then try a differnt setup (volts and prop wise) and like it better. That is very possible. The only reason anyone would dog these motors at first glance is because they're made in China. If Neu released a series of motors like this guys would be all over it. And be willing to pay double... cuz hey, it's made in the U.S.

Be nice to see some 36-40mm dia 50-90 length versions see how they run.

Think I'm missing something?
I don't see the rpm difference any where here...

[ozzie-crawl]

If you have a wye wind of 1050kv and change it to a delta. 1050 divide by 1.73 = 606kv

If thats what you mean ?

[ray schrauwen]

ETA is 2 months, thats all they said.

Thats about right, 1.73 but, you never know until they come out I guess. I might email them again....

[Steven Vaccaro]

They have been advertising them for a while. Lets see when they hit the market. They dont even have samples yet.

[ray schrauwen]

Most likely not this summer.

[Brushless55]

well that sucks..

Interesting that the 524 series has a 30k limit(same as a 2028) and is the same size, length and diameter as a 2028...................

[puttekula]

Not exactly the same size...

[ray schrauwen]

Thats right. The 2028 is the largest of them all.

The extra length is partly due to neccessity because of all the wires and connectors at the back. They are fancy 5692-5698s at best. Just who is making them is the question...

Same makers as Toro I believe??
