Plettenberg motors and compatible ESC's?

[jingalls007]

I ordered a Plett from Germany and didn't think thru the controller options. Does anyone here have any suggestions for controllers that are compatible with Pletts? Thx doodes!

A "plett" could be any motor of that brand. The specifications of the motor are the first clue to what the controller needs to be able to do to run it. Can we get some numbers please?

I use a flier on a couple and they work great. The old Schulze work great too.

Dang...That's like a yugo and a vision 6 maybach in the same sentence. Fliers have a terrible reputation for reliability and service after the sale. They fry back to back on forums threads with modelers and models unrelated. U got lucky and got a good one through their pityful QC process. I recommend leaving the flier out. Seriously! I dont know the motor but if its a KIMA or something big like that it will kill that flier try it.

The MGM controllers should work well.

I'd to know what exactly the motor is b4 really making a drive suggestion because no one said it was an inrunner, or outrunner, its size and power output. The pole count and slot number also has weight in deciding the optimal controller for the motor. Maybe thats in another thread but Im not reading every thread here so if there's a connection I probably missed it. I will say the big scale guys in Germany were having good success with turnigy dlux the big one 14s 250 amperes that looks like a big Jeti spin inverter. If you can find one it may work. It is with the large Lehners. If you add adequate water cooling it can do more than the rating.

Teras 50/2, 4-pole

Woo a big boy u better get some kahunas for this guy! I want one dang!!!! You got a motor my friend. Id agree then that the mgm migh be a good choice if you gonna drop that coin but the Return policy is skewed by American standards be fore warned. There are some other drives but 4 pole needs no real sophisticated drive. U got a big boat with a big motor get you a big drive.

Nice! I have a Seal 500 so that ?should? do the trick. My main concern was whether or not I?d have to stay with German controllers or if I?d be ok with less expensive Chinese esc?s. Thanks man!

[jingalls007]

Yeah I?m excited about it!! This is going in a gas scale hydro. Hopefully my seal 500 does the trick.

Pascal from Plettenenberg motors says it runs in the 6-8kw range. I have a TP 5690 that?s supposedly similar in power rating so I?ll be pitting then against one another to see if a $800 motor can perform just as good as a $300 motor of the same mass.

With that 4 pole motor driving it with the china BLDC commutation aglorithm should be a breeze. Cap up!!!
Sound like a TRULY fun boat..... The SEAL is much better than the flier. I had an oppetunity to evaluate the drive for ZTW and declined as they needed too much information. It should be more than capable and you can see clearly the difference in quality as compared. How much did the seal run you?

Cant wait to see her RUN

Recommendations on cap banks?

[jingalls007]

The seal was just shy of $500

[eXoNerated]

Not too awful for the price of something real. Sound like its all coming together for you. u have some nice equipment. Enjoy it.

That would be an interesting experiment for sure. Never had any luck over 2 poles with my MGM. I don't think they make the 370 version from the IMPBA scale rules anymore. Those beasts were 8 pole. I know they make quite a variety of configurations still.
