New item TFL Outdrive and motor assembly.

whats the max RPM this drive system can possibly handle?

why dont you read the specs before you ask?

[riflemanbtx]

Where are the specs with this specific information located? If I knew where this was I wouldn't have to ask! Make sense?

For now we are going to stick with saying to stay with 3s. TFL and a couple of customers have reported to us that the gears are wearing quicker than they should have. The company that made the gears didnt make them to the original TFL specifications. TFL will be replacing the gears for free and sending them to any customers that have purchased from OSE. Im not sure how long this will take. But Ill update as soon as I know. Sorry about this.

I was thinking the gears would be the weak link. That's why I was asking. I looked over the link provided, but the info I wanted wasn't there, as I was looking for the max rpm before failure of components according to manufacturing speced failure point tested. Basically was it originally planned to push to 35k? Or max at 29k rpm before component failure.

the rpm isn´t the problem - the torque is the problem

Does any manufacturer actually publish information on where their product will fail ?. If they have any sense, they will publish a max rpm or whatever quite a bit short of failure point, at which their unit will run consistently without damage. Even if you say the max is 35k, you know someone will run it at 36k then complain when it breaks

No manifacturer will tell the breaking point of there products, it is not the best selling argument. Imagine a car seller that tells you,'' your brand new car will break at 12000 km if you go more than 100 km/h!''. Would you buy from them? The specs are for normal usage, not for breaking point. My 2 cents.

When will more of these be in?

[Steven Vaccaro]

I hope soon. Waiting on tfl to make the next batch.

[cybercrxt]

I wonder if any more of these outdrives will ever be made?

I have 30 headed my way and another batch already scheduled for after that.

[cybercrxt]

Good, I would like to get another pair. I just mounted the first pair on a 40" Wellcraft Excallibur. They look great! Mike

Steve, if we pay in advance can we reserve ourselves a unit or 2?

[Steven Vaccaro]

yes I can do that. send me an email [email protected] and I can arrange it.
