WTB: Large brushless motor

[Steve V]

I am looking for a plett 370/50, Neu 2230, Castle 2028, or Lehner 30 series with a Kv of less than 800 RPM with water cooler. I would also like a mount for 5" rails and coupler for 1/4" cable. Let me know what you have.

Thanks,
Steve

I have a hacker b50-12xl 1700rpm.

So Steve what ya building , expect to pay at least 600 clams for a 2230 Neu or a 30 series Lehner , why not just order a 2028 for $299.00

I might part with my 2028 + a cooler. Need some sleep, test cooler tomorrow.

Two things, Punisher, you really need to run in more than a pond. How about one of the Great Lakes.

Also I am still scatching my head, being the owner and have run a 2230 1y. I can't see why Neu would make a motor, 3 times cheaper, and have it perform equal to the 2230.

Has anyone used this motor in a bog mono, or just some people getting excited about how it performs in a 1/5 th scale off road vehicle.

A 2215 may work, but she can be amp thirsty as well. The bigger the better, if you want to fly.

If it is really that good, maybe I will get one.

I have been playing with boats for 25 years......Jeffrey I hope you didn't think I just got into RC's a few years ago

Our pond is about 800 feet end to end which suits all of us just fine but I have run the boat at some of the surrounding lakes but you run the risk of smoking a full sized boat or worse maybe a person which doesn't sit well with me , I have always run with nothing or no one within eyeball range . The neatest thing that we have ever done is run a RC boat and use a full sized boat to run beside it......very cool to run with your boat , I really want to try this with the Sniper but need to find someone with a 60+ mph boat......LOL

Also I am still scatching my head, being the owner and have run a 2230 1y. I can't see why Neu would make a motor, 3 times cheaper, and have it perform equal to the 2230.

Castle makes the 2028 not Neu and no one claimed performance would be the same as the 2230 at least none that I have seen , The general consensus on this forum and others is that the 2028 is about 80% of what the 2230 can do performance wise

Has anyone used this motor in a bog mono, or just some people getting excited about how it performs in a 1/5 th scale off road vehicle.

None that I know of but castle seems to have a pretty good track record with the 1717's and smaller motors , no reason to expect the 2028 would be any different

A 2215 may work, but she can be amp thirsty as well. The bigger the better, if you want to fly.

I have taken my 2028 apart as I have my Lehner 3080 and both my 2230's and find the internal construction to be extreemly good with the 2028

The 2028 is not a 2230 equivalent. More like a 2225 in size and performance. Also Neu Motors provided engineering assistence in the design of CC/Neu series motors. They dont manufacture them for Castle. Lastly, there is a build thread going on with someone using the 2028 in a hydro. The thread is still active and informative and since the 2028 motor is pretty new to us FE types not too many of us have put them to use. I bought mine for a BackLash hydro and I wont even be starting the hull build untill june or later. I think if dollar to performance is your goal the 2028 is going to be one tuff motor to beat. The smaller CC/Neu motors have been doing extremely well in boats for years. My guess is the 2028 is not going to be any different but I have been wrong before.

Hey guys,


Thank you for clearing up all of my questions. I have learned alot today from gents with alot more experience than myself. Thats how I learn, from others.

Thanks again,

Jeff

I'll still consider any motors, but I have decided to run twin 1717s for the time being.

Thanks,

It seems to be, that alot of guys are doing twins nowadays.

I just sold my Neu 2230 1y.

Good luck to you!
