whats this motor?

codieskid · #1 20-09-2006

Found this picture on here of what seems to be an lrp vector but on the can it says x11 3 star.

Can anyone tell me if the x11 is a model number/special version of the vector motor or is this just the standard vector motor. The reason i ask is that on the LRP website the motor is red and blue and not the same colours as this one. Anyone have any ideas?

hmm, not sure but it was literally straight out of jurgens secret bag, so it is the very latest one, it does look a bit different to the one I have now.

Thats the new ones from LRP.
I think it will be out in the shops soon?

Just had an email from LRP which is very interesting.

"This Motor is one of our new LRP Vector X11 motors, they will be available in Germany in 3 or 4 weeks.

The techn. Datas can you find on our new 2007 Catalogue.
You can download the catalogue on the www.lrp-hpi-challenge.de website."

I'm not sure whats different about it, but the can looks cooler! the machined bevel at the front looks cool.

Surely if it's not available it's not legal to use at a sancianed event? Or can they get stuff approved beforehand?
Or are the rules different?

jimmy · #7 20-09-2006

I think at places like the euros there is no list, so as long as it fits the technical rules its ok to use whatever you want.
I assume that motor would not be allowed here (at the f345 for example) but then its just an update to the existing motor so maybe its considered the same thing on the list ??

Dont think so, the homologation list specifies can and sleeve colour/style.

What cells are they, look like old fukuyama ones!

jimmy · #12 20-09-2006

Glyns batt4000's, I also tried some lrp ones which were way too powerful for me in combo with the brushless.

Southwell · #13 20-09-2006

I think thats going to be a familiar story next year, too much power to control.

jimmy · #14 20-09-2006

Yup, just to think a couple of years ago I was doing most of the nationals with a 19 turn and was doing better. oh dear.

wow, have you had a look through the LRP catalogue?

so much cool new stuff, LiPo, brushless micro stuff, 18th truck thing, 18th nitro truck thing!! ace!

jimmy · #16 20-09-2006

yeah, some cool stuff on there. What this TC spec brushless ? what about a buggy-spec one ?

They have everything in that catalog, even that paint I love so much. ;-)
