Thanks for the response...anyone know why the armature seperated from the core? Is it keyed to the core?

Carl Giordano - If you want to play it safe and be sure... purchase a Novak Velociti Brushless Motor to avoid magnet and rotor problems that seem to plague the Neo-One Brushless cans. I own 6 Novak GTBs and Velociti Brushless Motors and have never had nay problems. I bought an LRP Sphere and Neo-One and the thing didn't even last half a pack before I had to send it in to Associated. Fortunately, they replaced the whole thing but it was a few weeks befoer I got it back.... so far it has been alright but every time I come on here I keep seeing Racers have one problem or another. At this point it is not worth the risk and hassle.... Hope LRP finally learns and changes things.... soon!

Perefctly. They work Perfectly together. I feel with TC on carpet that the 4300 is very evenly matched to a good 19t. I know others have said the 5800 is a perfect match, but that just hasn't been my experience. The 4300 is certainly faster than stock though.

S_fender

Yes. Someone know a date for theses new motors ?

Rob Janssen

I thought they come end of the month but could be later.

X11 motors? As I mentioned earlier, I'm new to brushless...where can I find info on these motors?

G2B Anthony

X11 is LRP's designation for the latest can/stator assembly. It has a few internal updates developed for the Worlds.

G2B Anthony

Thanks , How do you know the advantage of the new can?

Hey Carl to answer your question its from the use of a "bonded" rotor...I think the actualy neo material is bonded together and then bonded to the shaft or its bonded all at one time around the shaft...or at least thats how I understand it. That is why the companies are now wanting to go to Sintered magnets as they are more reliable and effecient. They are supposedly a WHOLE lot faster as well!!

Do we have any release dates and photos of this new motor? I believe the Team drivers also had a different speedo, but dont quote me on that

Rob Janssen

I'm a little confused, the new X11 doesn't have the sintered ones??

S_fender

Yes the X11 will have the sintered rotor and bigger bearings.

Rob Janssen

And that is legal or not?

Will the Sphere Competition work with the new X11 motors?

Rob Janssen

The Competition can handle 3.5 and i'm not sure but the new X11 will be 4.5.

S_fender

LRP X11 replace the old one. There will be 1*, 2*, 3* and 4*.
A 5* was used at the worlds and should be released... one day...

G2B Anthony

no, X11 still a 4star

AdrianM

iTrader: (4)

I dont know if the first X11 will be a 5 star but if it isn't there will be a 5 star shortly there after.

S_fender

That's what i found.
For the 5* it was used at differents races. But i only supposed it will be available.

Rob Janssen

This is the info i've got:

50650 - Vector 1-star (8.5)
50660 - Vector 2-star (7.5)
50670 - Vector 3-star (6.5)
50680 - Vector 4-star (5.5)

50661 - Vector X11 7.5turns
50671 - Vector X11 6.5turns
50681 - Vector X11 5.5turns
50686 - Vector X11 5turns
50691 - Vector X11 4.5turns

Any chance LRP will go the same route Novak went with the ability to have replacement rotors. I would sooner buy a replacement than send in the motor for a replacement motor. And pay shipping and whatever other cost their is.

Rob Janssen

There are allready replacement rotors for the 1, 2, 3 and 4 stars!

We got kid at our track with the newer version of the 1 Star and it is so fast !!!
I thought it was a 2 star !!! LoL !

Honest!!! very impressive ......

Sleighty

Hi,

Im still struggling to get my 4 star motor to stay cool enough, actually im unsure whether its the speedo or the motor, but whatever its shutting down as its too hot. What is the best method to keep it cool? Do i really have to fork out for the LRP cooling fan kit, or is there another way.

My gearings are as per the manual suggests.


thanks

RacingStorm

I run in the Arizona desert and have yet to thermal my LRP/4-star combo. On a smallish asphalt track (110feet by 40 feet), I'm gearing my T2 @ 14/90 (~11 FDR) with standard rubber tires. It has no problem keeping up with the other cars on the track and it has never thermaled even in 110F heat (~43C)...

Cruisaaja

Hey there. Can Burrito or anyone confirm yet, is it possible at LRP do some changes to Sphere competiton esc too?

Here in Finland all LHS told me at they haven`t any ecs in stock at the moment??
