Yup, 40A max is what we’ve gone so far. No mod on the ESC.

Theoretically, it should, but not really sure what you’ll get if you just parallel 2 packs. I haven’t done it though.

SDR and SDXL are high-watt rating motors because they are rated 60A max and 50A max respectively.

Recent TD should be between 4-8 weeks. Motors are coming from China.

XL GB fulfillment is on-going as well as site orders. More hangers are being machined as we speak.

Just wondering, can you anodize the motor cans as well (for those without urethane sleeves hypothetically lol)?

Don’t they have a black flux ring sleeve before the motor cans?

It’s a different process since it’s steel instead of aluminum, and it’s much more expensive.

Got an ETA on XL orders? I still haven’t received any email of the status or shipping situation.

Do you mean 11? Lol

How many exo pros did you manage to ship this week? Have had a chance to send longhairedboy more materials for the evos?

However - more power you’ve got = for longer you can maintain the max torque of your motor. So, if you have extremely “torqy” e-machine but very little power, you will get clamped by max power at extremely low RPM.

Another argument for higher power motors is if you use thicker winding, the e-machine will have less resistance and therefore heat up slower, dissipate heat faster and overall be better for long use scenarios. Higher copper mass also allows one to have longer “momentary max power” rating which exceed maximum continuous current.

So e-machine with lots of torque will give more power at minimal rpm, however it will peak out very fast and the it’s just asthma-drive :slight_smile:

Anyway @LEVer, don’t get this the wrong way - you at least come up clean on actual ratings of motor, design etc which for me is more important rather than buying supa dupa 12938457102983652345 gigawat garage motor.

Look what LHB is posting!

@longhairedboy’s chainsaw skills are amazing! Look how clean those enclosure cutouts are! :open_mouth:Almost like he was some kind of machine.

Does the middle of xl deck drop down? I tend to use a wide stance when going real fast. The Landyachtz Evo deck with the drop down will shorten or restrict my wide stance. Can I change to XL deck with same Evo 4wd set up? Can you reply with photo of xl deck?

There is no XL deck. Only the Exo and Evo are completes. The XL’s are just a drive system (truck & direct drive motors) made in a limited quantity.

We’re not giving out the numbers. If you did not get an email with tracking numbers, then that means yours is not up yet.
