I too longed to own a high end Lehner. So I bought a couple and one for a buddy of mine. The first one I had failed within a month. I'm still waiting to see if it can be repaired. Then the one that was for my buddy failed a couple days ago. The shaft slid out of it. It slid to the side the shaft sticks out. No reason why. 8mm shaft. Both of these motors were both purchased brand new on my part and they were 2260's. The other one that I had probably would have failed by now (with the track record I've had experience with) but that boat sank. Now....I've never had a neu fail, castle or tp fail. I've got way more run times on other motors besides the lehners. I'll go out on a limb and say I'm no longer a Lehner fan. Try and ship one back to have it repaired. O and there's really no warranty on them and the average price (from what I've researched) is about $200+ for repair. I'd rather stick with my original idea of I can buy four motors for the price of one and I'm pretty sure those four motors will last a lot longer (as it stands now everything else I own has outlasted my Lehner anyway, so much for the idea of getting a premium reliable motor). This is just my personal experience. I'm sure there's many others that may have had good luck with them, but I haven't. I see no good reason why cheaper motors are out lasting them in the same kind of situations I put them through. I'm pretty much done using super expensive escs and motors when I can accomplish the same thing for a lot less money and still not have a warranty either way.
