Like you said, there is a rear cap. And the holes in the front of the motor are covered by the motor mount. So, it's good
yes sure you can cover those holes. i was just thinking that the way the motor is engineered with the open can was for a reason and not just by accident. the neu motors are actively used in the helicopter scene. and my guess is that the open can and the "cooling" airflow does have a function for the efficiency of those motors. so closing the motor is fine for truck applications. but it is very probable that it will have an effect on the efficiency of the motor. i am not an engineer so that effect may be so small that it is negligible.

but to come back to the initial question of this thread. i guess a 4S or 14 cells with a maxximum would be a fine setup in the maxx for the track. of course an adequate neu will do the same and is probably easier to get and have support in the us.

i just stepped in this thread because i do not see any reason aside of availability that would make me favour a neu clearly over a plettenberg as it was stated somewhere in the beginning of this thread.
