New PF L-Motor more "power" than the old ?

[MarkusOSX]

Hi all,

i´ve got a short question. Didn´t find anything helpful about it.

Is the new PF L-motor "more powerful" than the old one ?

I mean this one here:

Is there an old PF Motor L at all? I believe not.

[Sariel]

There is no "old" L motor.

One of the websites each Technic builder should know.

Sry, I mean the XL motor:

thx @ sariel for the link. Didn´t know this page.This answers my question

No, its not more powerfull,

Right

i think they are about equal: XL motor with about 220 rpm and 40 torque, and L with 400 rpm and 18 torqueSo gearing down L motor 2:1 gives 2 times more torque.

They are close, but XL is still more powerful with 2.21W of mechanical power at 9V, where as the L motor has 1.85W of mechanical power at 9V.

If you really want some power go for the buggy motor, way more powerful than the XL motor.

Semi on topic, how many L motors can you run off one battery box with the new V2 IR?

Do you have some for me ?

thx for all answers

you can run two L motors, any more would result in receiver cutting off when you would stress the motors

[Burf2000]

So if you geared down the RC motor is it stronger than a XL / NXT at the same RPM?

[allanp]

Yup! According to Philos updated measurements the buggy motor produces about twice as much mechanical power as the XL motor.

Yesterday I tested 2x L motors as alternative to 1 XL motor at my middle-scale awd mocs like this

http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=72502&hl=9395

or this http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=73762&hl=8081.

I built light awd chassis and mount 2L motors. The weight was simulated by two battery boxes (of course with accus)

Weight of chassis and moc car about 900-950 g. So I can compare them.

2L shows the same torque, but better acceleration, 1,5 times faster speed, compact and better mounting possibilities.

Our next awd car will be with 2x L motors;)
