The lmt are great motors. If mike can get the guys to close the ends up.
I think these may be some good motors as well. I have to hold total judge
ment until it gets here.

I don't see them being that big of an issue unless you are a real mud driver, or light dust perhaps. I'm sure it would not be that hard to cover anywho. To have a motor with hardly any heat issues in any case would be worth the little work it would take to cover them.

I would simply make a CF or lexan cover. The back even has holes to use to mount the cover.

The back has threaded holes? That makes fabricating a cover much easier!

How is the endbell retained? By screws or glue or something else?

It sure looks like it...

Sorry guys, there are no threaded holes in the back even though it looks like it. :)

I made little plastic "nuts" that fit tight into the motor holes. So the bracket helps secure the motor so it can't move around, but it's not really bolted to the motor. The brace just slips into the motor holes basicly. It was made for my C50 can which does have screws on both end of the can, and my 540C feigao which I drilled and tapped holes in the rear endbell.

That seemed like the slickest way to get some support for the rear of the motor without drilling holes or making a fancy motor brace.

Won't adding a cover add to heat issues and defeat the purpose? Maybe they're not an issue -- where I run right now the dirt is like powder it's so dry. Gets all over everything, but maybe as long as the bearings are smooth and clean, just blowing air through the can from time to time would take care of dust inside.

I really like the look of that motor with the fins and all, and the price seems nice for the specs. When are the motors coming?

I talked to RCM Mike about these motors last week. He has been running one for a while and made cover for his from piece of lexan from an old body. I asked him the same thing about blocking the holes and reducing airflow causing heat issues and he said that the motor is so efficient, there are no heat issues to worry about.


BTW.. They just went up on the site. Still all listed as out of stock though.

I chatted to mike about them as well.
He has no heating issues what so ever.
The motor even on a hard run for 30 mins only runs in the 130s or so.
I can live with that. Especially he running in 90 + temps to.

how much difference between the 1515 and the 1512 versions of this motor. Besides the $55 and the .3 inches in length.

How will these compare to the feigaos. the 1519 = feigao XL can and the 1512 = feigao L can? Sorry to compare it to Feigao, but its a easy point of reference that I an most are familiar with. I know they are much more efficient, I'm asking more allong the lines of power and feel.

The 1515 is like a 1950 and the 1512 is like a 1940. But you got the right idea. Just a little shorter rotor.

Yeah, I think the 1515 is like the XL, the 1512 the L, and there was another that looked like it would be a regular 540, but I can't remember the #.

I think it is a 1509 is the smaller one.

I swear someone had this motor on an e-maxx long time ago...

I assume the Neu motor has 5mm shaft? Also, Which one would be best for an 1/8 buggy? I'm running a Quark on 4s in a hyper 7. I think I'm going to get one.
