[LaMoparPower]

Very interested to see how these work out..... Starting to build my twin next week...

I stopped by the PO this morning and picked up my motor - looks good.

Or a BAD A$$ P-MONO motor !!!

Hmmmm ... you have me thinking now!

[G1ST]

Are Leopard and Tacon motors the same?

[ray schrauwen]

It seems so. I have a pair of 2860 Tacon's and one 2845 Leopard, look & feel the same.

[G1ST]

That's what I thought. Thanks
I've seen ads that look identical (specs, dimensions, & weight) except for the color of the motor. Price can vary wildly also

[egneg]

Steven any idea what timing should be used?

I ran this motor 2 laps today and one of the motor wires came undone - there was very little solder on it.
I'm re- soldering all the motor leads. Oh did I mention it was fast...

Do you mean that the wire coming out of the can or one of the bullets? Either cant be good. Thanks for the heads up!

John, the factory solder joints are sometimes alot to be desired. I redo them all.

[RCKong]

I was testing it in my DF33 on 4s2P. It came apart at the bullet connector. The wire itself had little or no solder on it at all. Probably just a fluke, but I'm gonna make sure it dont happen again.

[osprey21]

Thanks RCK - I'll now be removing the shrink and checking the joints on mine.

[RCKong]

BEWARE !!! I don't know how your motor is but mine is
- JUNK - I ran it yesterday, and it came apart at the bullet ( no solder ) in a min - never got above 90* in my DF33 with a X645. It took out a brand new T-180 ESC when it unconnected. When I fixed it ( re-soldered ) it cogged terribly, the wires got very hot, it would not run and had to unhook it quickly before it ruined another T-180 ESC
I'm sending the motor and controller back to OSE.
