Lemo Solar motor???
 

Hi,

I'm new to the TTTT scene and i am interested in building my first truck.
I have gone out and bought a 1/72 scale truck, (I know that it is not the normal 1/87) it is a German Opal Blitz by Heller, It looks like a good model to start with and has plenty of room in the back. But I am having trouble getting hold of a 'Lemo-Solar motor'.

I really would like to use one of those engines, despite the high cost, but i dont know how! I have emailed the "www.lemo-solar.de" site that sells them but i got a answer back in German that says"the transmission motor best. -Nr.MCM1813 we have not in the delivery program, With kind regards"

so I do not know if this means i cant get one?

If i had that motor i would be fine with the rest of the electrical stuff....except maybe for the receiver.

Does anyone else have this motor in the Western side of the world?
I am from Australia, which makes it very hard to get any of this stuff!

I would appreciate any help given on these cars and where to get things,
Oh Yeah...where do i get those tiny batteries? I have 1 old one from a bit charge car.... but i think i need 4?


Thanks heaps,

Liam

Hi Liam,

I am happy to read from just another one, who is infected by th TTTT-virus:-)

If I undestand right, you are looking for the "Lemo-Solar"-motor thats is right for the driveline???
Just take a look at the webpage of LEMO-Solar (www.lemo-solar.de) . There you will find the "Truck Trial - Antrieb für M 1:87 (Bausatz)" and it costs 29,90Euro.
If this one is the right one, the order number is "MC 195". I think your number was wrong???

Small batterys, I prefer LIPO-cell. One of them is good for 1h TTTT-fun and they are very small (in this case 3.6V are enough for the car) . You can get them at www.1zu87modellbau.de. there are also spare-batteries to use in a bit-racer availible.

Hi,

Thanks for replying! no one else did...

Well, i have some bad news :(

I got a reply from www.Lemo-Solar.de but i got a horrible reply!
The motor is, for me, 25euros because i don't get the European sales tax...
but they told me that postage was an extra 29euros!

So now i can no longer afford to build this car, and i wont have time to do it next year as the army won't allow me this time to...

allwell, one day

Hi Liam,

maybe there is another solution for your problem. On the German ebay site there are right now 4 of these motors for sale. Have a look on ebay.de and search for those article numbers:
190170318433
190170320598
190170322571
190170324825

But hurry up, the auctions will end on Sunday!

I have no idea if the german seller would ship also to Down Under but maybe it's worth trying?

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Jochen

Well, thanks for the help...but I got a reply from the German eBay seller saying that he won't post to Australia... Well, I emailed Escap, which is the maker of the motor, but i am still waiting for a reply.

Don't worry about it, maybe next year i could get one (as I have finished school! YAY! and am going for a stint in the army)

Thanks for your help

Hi Asimo,

well, Escap is the manufactor. But the price is a little bit more expensive as LEMO, because LEMO sells class-b motors.
I our case, it is no problem to use motors with 55mA instead of 50mA or motors without a perfect body.
The class-a motors from escap are used for example in medicine technic and so the price is higher.

Just take a look at the solutions by
http://www.1zu87modellbau.de/
or
http://www.mikromodellbau.de/

If I am right, they ship also to "Down Under".

best regards
