Plettenberg motors and compatible ESC's?

[jingalls007]

What a monster. What kind of kv are they telling you to expect?

950kv, 10s, 30k rpm max. The math puts it over 30k @ 37v but they assured me it?s a 10s motor.

Yep, should be stellar.

I'm excited to see what it can do. The hydro this motor is going in (gas scale) should be here next Monday so I hope to have this on the water in the next couple of weeks.

For you Plettenberg owners with the 12mm shaft coupling system- did you have to tap the two small holes to thread for set screws? The holes are smooth bore from factory, at least mine are.

that's got to be a hardened shaft I doubt is made to be taped but a place for the set screw to rest in and not turn !!!

Agreed with Chris, those holes are likely to engage the setscrew cup points on the coupler.
Don't those motors come with some type of coupler?

You are missing the most important part! See the photoimage.jpg

The TERAS is only a 4 pole motor so choose high voltage/power esc.

If it was a 12 pole or more that' s different.

Definitely missing the outer ring. The inside is good to go for. ?? shaft. I have 2 of these. If you want to run a 3/16? shaft use a piece of ? material and an Octura ? to 3/16 coupler.

I contacted Pascal at Plett and sure enough, they forgot to include the coupling sleeve so they mailed one out immediately.

Yes, there's a sleeve that fits over the shaft. They forgot to include it and are sending one out.

Hey jevmax, do you do anything to your cable so that the set screws grip? I tried sanding a flat spot on the cable for the set screws to grip, but the motor tore up the cable in less than a minute. I tried silver braising the shaft then sanding a flat spot for the set screws, but again the motor tore up the cable.

Thanks for any suggestions!

If you can solder the last inch of the cable that will help it hold together. Even with that, after repeated uses the set screws do chew up the end of the cable. Not need to put a flat on the flex cable. The set screws will hold.
