my experience with my Leopard:
so my mr3680 died, and I got the 4074-2000.

the rotor has kind of an plastik coating, or glue, supposed to protect the kevlar/carbon-fibre

Measurements of the rotor is 49mm, the magnets about 41mm, and has little axial clearance, don't know if I keep it like that or not.

on the back, there's a little space, but I think that's ok:

overall quality looks good so far. didn't get hot on 5s, great.

good power, but different to the losi xcelorin 1700kv and the mr 3680-1600. Those have more torque at low revs.

good buy so far!

I'm afraid to try a leopard because it may not play well with my Rhino and Buffalo.

why?? these motors aren't bad at all, and for sure have less amp draw then kd's and other turning toasters of death. the efficiency seems good.

sorry, a lame attempt at a joke about all the wild animal names we have for batteries and products.

:party:

excellent... not lame at all, just me too stupid...:oops:

Anyone has feed back on these yet. I stopped in at my LHS and as soon as they found out I was BL out came the Leopard. Looking for a motor for my Revo.

I am running the 4074 with 2000kv on 5s in my truggy for some months now. Very good motor, never gets too hot. I have mounted a fan on the motor to be on the safe side, but it's not really necessary.
Compared to the previous motors (losi xcelorin 1700kv, MR 3680 1600), the performance is a bit different, less torque at lover rpm, which I had to get used to (which is normal due to the 2000kv). Never owned a motor with such high kv rating, but I have to say it's a perfect match for the truggy, I was quite surprised. There is plenty of power, but it's not insanely overpowered.

I have been running a 4074 2000kv in my Sc8E on 5s.And it has plenty of power to burn.
Soon I will have a 4065 2700 kv and a 3674 3300 kv and these I will run in my 4x4 Slash with a MMP from 2s to 4s.

seems to me their prices are slowly creeping up. i've been watching them and the good deals just seem to be getting harder to find for me.

They have smaller bearings than the Castle motors but the design seems quite similar. The good thing is that there is a lot of Kv available.

I put the 3674 3300 KV LBP motor in my XT8 on 3s 5000 40c and bashed a bit and snapped my front 10t bevel drive gear.Holly crap I was running a CC 1518 on 6s and have hammered on it and have never damaged it.

picked one of these up about a month ago but forgot about this thread. have it in my e maxx i think with a 19t pinion but it might be 17. all i have to say is wow! im running it with a mamba max pro on 4s not a mmm a mmp and neither of them get hot the motor just warm and the esc fan hardly ever comes on. with the MMP! i have stand still backflips an wheelies whenever i want. (idk what that other guy was talking about saying it didnt have much torque) but anyways that me 0.2¢

¿someone use the 5692 in a car? .......

I've been wanting to try one of these motors out as well, but they advertise up to 85% efficiency.. But for the low cost, it's so tempting.

in spain many people use the leopard motors and they explain are great .......... same autonomys than the castle-neu :yes:

soon I will buy 2 leopards 4074/4065 and I will compare :whip:

The price is what pulls me in and pushes me away.. so confused about these motors.. But they only claim "up to 85% efficiency" .. Motors by Neu is able to run higher efficiency than that.... ?

Let us all know soon as you do a comparison... If I purchased anymore motors, my girlfriend would kick my *ss..

dont worry ...... this motors are great (I saw one in tt circuit and are the same efficient than a castle-neu of same size :yes: ) ......... the prices are awesome ....... leopard 5692 880gr = aprox 105usd+shipping ........... crazy cheap

provably I will wait the next month for make the order ....... this month I spend too much money :p ..... I will advise you when I buy:yes:

Been a while since I've checked their website out, but the efficiencies are now rated "up to 95% efficient"... LOL, just me, but I am really afraid to buy a set.

Where does it cost 105$ ?

for $105, I wouldn't mind getting my *ss kicked for a bit.. LOL
please share us where.. everything I look it's $200 + shipping..

rc-fans.com

the motor/combos prices of this web are incredible :yes: ........... leopard 4074 55usd ......... 5692 105usd .......... 5682 95usd ........

it's $184 for the 5692..

I am going to get my *ss kicked for ordering a 5692.. I am really doubting the power/efficiencies of these motors, but I guess we'll have to find out...

I saw leopards 4065 in races of 1/8tt and have the same runtime of my neu 1512 .......and the temperatures of the leopard are lower .... is your decission but I think is a good motor

LOL... No decisions to be made. I have a couple leopard motor already ordered. I'm very curious to find out how they perform...

5692 have 2 type ... Wye windings is output powerfull but lower rpm ... delta windings have high rpm but lower power output.

6mm shafts on those motors, what pinions do you plan to use?

Will use the 5692 on my FG, with a sleeve and 8mm bore Mod 1.5 pinions.. same thing I did, when I had the KB45 running in the Firehammer MT.. So if this motor is as good as it should be, then it will be a sweet ride..

How do you order from that site (rc-fans.com)? I created an account and still can't see any prices or add to cart.

The site says wholesale, can you even buy 1 thing? Or do you have to buy a bunch to get those prices?

I got a 5682 from rcfans88. 1 week to Australia.:yipi:

I made an account at the rc-fans.com website and they replied with an email saying it was only a wholesale shop for people with LHS, Ebay shops, online shops, etc. and not individuals buying for personal use.

use 5mm pinions is easy ;)
