WTB: Huge motor

[Magnus 10+ year member]

Looking to get parts together to build a custom 18 that will handle 3k. I'm in need of a huge magnet. Something that will allow tons of xmax. I want to stick with a 3 inch VC.

I have a dd3500e motor and an 18" basket I know its not huge but with stock parts it will take 2-2500.hell I ran an aq3500 on it for 6 months.

I'll keep that in mind. Might be looking for something a little bigger. Really want a lot of xmax.

That would def be an epic motor. Thing is, it would run a TON of monies.

Just FYI, a TC9 with 1" slugs will support over three inches of excursion without bottoming. That's using a coil with a 64mm WW.

Where can I find one?

They crop up from time to time. I'm not actually saying you should get a TC9, my point was simply that the motor won't necessarily need to be as deep as you'd expect to achieve a high Xmax or high overall excursion. In your case though, two reasons that you may want to go ahead with a larger motor is to keep the over all Q down to a reasonable level since you're planing for an 18" build (and you'll probably want to use it vented), but also for the benefit of the additional mass which will help wick heat away from the coil. I don't run high power installations so there are better folks to talk to on that point. You can block your pole vents and such to help raise power handling but at the expense of lots more turbulence and other mechanical noise. All depends on what your priorities are I guess. Me, I like quiet. (Excursion, that is.)
