"Good point! Actually, we are using a fully closed end bell. Another issue we have seen with the standard Neu motor is that the glued end bells have a tendency to come "unglued" in minor crashes, and that the windings are unprotected from long screws. So the Castle version of the motor will have threaded end bells with set screw capture, and will have blind mounting holes (so a user cannot insert a screw too far into the motor and damage the windings.)

One other thing we are changing is that we are using a larger diameter bearing for the front bell, to allow higher side loads (cars tend to be hard on front bearings!)

He also said the following after being asked about whether the normal CMS36 motors will be changed to a Neu-designed motor:

"Doesn't look like we will be using the Neu motor design, HOWEVER, we will be making some significant changes to the Mamba motor in a few months. All of which will make a BETTER motor.
