Are the wires 12 or 10 Gauge ?

what website did u order the black canned motor off of?

I bought a 4074 just to check these out.59 bucks shipped.

where at?

sorry double post

They must have decided that was the wrong price.

I could have sworn I seen it for $59, but now the price is $95 bucks.

They must have forgotten to add Obama's cut! :lol:

The weight is interesting, but I am afraid that the bearing aren't as big as the bearing on the NEU/Castle motors ... Keep us posted !

try http://www.nitrorcx.com

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.
