I hope Mike will bring this neu version here.
It's look great motor in the pic

glassdoctor 05.01.2008 08:55 AM

Nice job man, there's a lot of work in that car... chassis, everything...

The motor clamp mount is very cool, and I like the side guards (velcro friendly for the body.... something I've asked for for the Fusion car)

Did you have this at RCX??

MTBikerTim 05.01.2008 10:23 AM

That is really impressive. I love the motor mount too. I must admit I would prefer it with out the clutch but I suppose that acts as the slipper.

lincpimp 05.01.2008 10:32 AM

The idea looks good. I would be interested to see what it weighs. Looks like it my be a bit on the heavy side, when you factor in the 2 piece motor mount, clutch assy, brake servo and other parts.

Personally I would prefer Mike's slipperential and a solid pinion. That provides better control for me, and the slipper would give the motor some shock resistance. The tekno battery tray looks good, a make my own trays that work in a similar fashion. For the price the conversion looks good. I really like the neu motors. Larger bearings and a sealed can, I have a feeling that tekno will sell a few of these, until the castle neu motors come out...

gixxer 05.01.2008 10:38 AM

I like the motor mount but would prefer not to have to use the clutch.

Chapito 05.01.2008 10:49 AM

It's a beautiful setup, looks well balanced, and has manual brakes which, imo, are the only way to go for racing. Great for those who aren't ahead of the curve and are starting from scratch. However, for those who have been into brushless 1/8 scale conversions it has the same two drawbacks as the their Revo conversion(which I am currently running): 1) the battery tray is too small for 20 or 25c enerland cell packs and 2) imo, the clutch is much more of a pita than it is helpful. The best thing about it is that it will undoubtedly bring more folks into the 1/8 scale electric game and expedite the point in time where every track has plenty of racers to field 1/8 scale electric classes.
Good job Tekno!

jhautz 05.01.2008 11:04 AM

Looks very nice. Great chassis layout. Very polished looking kit. I wounder if the MMM will fit on the esc platform and still have the body go on. I'm beting no. Only 2 things I can see wrong with it. The clutch can go for sure and its on the Losi. If the come out with other brands without a clutch. I will be very interested.

Nice job Tekno.

theJoker 05.01.2008 11:18 AM

Is it me or does that motor sound like it will be similar to the mMonster motor due out in a few months.. Bigger bearing and sealed can .... But hand built by Neu sound better than made in china .....

teknorc 05.01.2008 12:01 PM

Hey guys,

Glad to see some excitement about the new products. We've worked real hard on these to make them best they can be. To answer a few questions:

Yes, the motor mount will be available for 36mm cans (Novak, Medusa, Feigao, others), 40mm cans (Neu smooth can), and 44mm cans (Neu finned, Hacker, Align XL). The only odd ball is Mega - their motor can is 36.2mm instead of the standard 35.8. We wanted a close fit for the others so they will have to be used with the 40mm mount.

Yes, there will be V3 Brushless Kits for other vehicles in the future. It won't be too hard to guess which ones.

There should be plenty of room for the MMM. The MMM is about the same height as the MM with a fan, and that fits fine. BTW, you can fit a BEC, personal transponder, and a bunch of the servo wires underneath the radio tray for a clean layout.

Components will be available together as a kit or separately if people just want the mount or whatever.

No solid release date at this time, but we're not too far away.

Is the Neu 1512 2.5d/finned available with the Tekno specifications (larger bearing, sealed enclosure, etc....)

We'll be offering a bunch of different winds (1512/2.5D/F included), it's just a matter of when.

Battery tray can accommodate 150mmL x 50mmW x variable H. This will accommodate a lot of packs, but you are correct, the longer cells will have some issues. You could always cut away the back portion to run longer packs, we've done that for a few of our prototypes. A longer battery tray for the truggies may not be out of the question either.

DRIFT_BUGGY 05.01.2008 04:56 PM

Be sweet if it was red as red motors go faster :yes:
Looks great, are parts for the kit going to be availiable to buy by themselves?

We thought about different colors, but we did blue before and I think we're stuck with it for now. Yes, all of the parts will be available separately (probably before the release of the kit).

HAHA, that is funny. If they can make the rotor lighter red than the can it will spin up faster too!

Really like the motors teknorc, You may have a few orders from me when they come out! 8ight conversion looks good too, just like it rolled out of the factory!

mk351e 05.01.2008 11:09 PM

teknorc; any chance of a muggy conversion? if so, can I get an idea of a time frame? I'm about to start my own, but if yours comes soon, I may wait.

jfruge 05.02.2008 12:30 AM

Any idea when we can order or pre order one of these kits?

Peter Zicha 05.02.2008 01:44 AM

Just lending an ear , cool hardware

Hopefully in a few weeks or less. We'll keep everyone posted.

BTW, Mike will be getting a few of these as well. We promised him some of the first kits available. Perhaps you could coordinate a pre-order through RC-Monster.

Sorry mk351e, the Muggy isn't on our list as of right now and chances are we probably won't be doing one in the future.

Teknorc....Is Neu building those motors for you or are you assembling them yourselves

These are genuine Neu motors, assembled at their facility.

I was assuming Neu had a lot to do with it , Are those motors exclusive and licensed only for your distribution . the reason I ask is cause I am a dealer and am interested in maybe a few in the near future

Thank you for your info

They will be exclusively distributed by Tekno RC. We may have them available to dealers as well, but we haven't worked out the details yet.

theJoker 05.04.2008 05:15 PM

When will the motors be ready?

Thanks

How about the 8ight conversion... I know you said the kit will be a few weeks off... but.... are any of the parts ready now? :smile:

Electric Dave 05.05.2008 08:24 AM

Will the motors alone be available from RC Monster or only from Tekno Direct?

It's very possible that the individual parts are ready before the whole kit. Maybe 1 week prior, not 100% sure.

We haven't worked out if they will be available to dealers. If they are available though, I'm hoping RC-Monster will be one of the first places that has them.

DRIFT_BUGGY 05.05.2008 09:02 PM

Will the motors still use Carbon Fibre wound rotors?

jnev 05.05.2008 10:29 PM

Looks really nice!!

Is it possible to use the Tekno chassis, and servo mounts, battery tray and all that (except for the motor mount) and use the RC-Monster mount so I don't have to use the clutch? Also, will the battery tray fit the stock chassis? Will the mud guards fit the stock chassis?

Thanks in advance for any answers. :smile:

The motors will feature all of the latest Neu technologies (i.e. new endbell design, reduced cog rotors, etc.). Our motors will incorporate any future changes as well.

Mike will be able to confirm if the RCM mount will work once the kits are available. Just looking at it, it looks like there shouldn't be an issue. You may have to remove the rear brake assembly, but not 100% sure. The kit includes a complete clutch setup so you'll have it to try out either way.

The battery tray was meant to fit our chassis specifically. However, it could be used on other chassis' if you space it up 2mm off the chassis for the straps to clear. As it is now, the chassis is cutout underneath the battery tray to make room for the straps. Our chassis is actually lighter than the stock chassis by .5oz despite it having a bigger overall footprint. The truggy chassis is over 1oz lighter than stock :)

entjoles 05.12.2008 08:32 PM

:yipi:

well for some reason i called to check on when the motors would be available and they had one of the motors i needed left in stock, 1515 1y/f tekno edition,(last one)

so i have one on the way, cant wait to run my truggy with a good motor

i will let you all know how it runs


and i want to say thanks to whoever it was at tekno that i talked to tonight

i hope to be running this this weekend:whip::diablo:, jk:lol:
