Medusa Vs. Neu - 12.03.2008, 11:23 PM

I wanted to compare Neu and Medusa and this is what I came up with. I am only comparing the 36mm motors.

Claimed watts stated on website
Medusa then Neu
36-50 vs 1506/1509* - 750w vs 500/750w - 15w/mm vs 11.1/13.9w/mm
36-60 vs 1512 - 920w vs 1000w - 15.3w/mm vs 16.6w/mm
36-70 vs 1515 - 1100w vs 1250w - 15.7w/mm vs 17.9w/mm
36-80 vs 1521 - 1300w vs 1750w - 16.25w/mm vs 21.9w/mm

*1506 is 45mm and 1509 is 54mm.

Motor Selection - the win hands down goes to Neu. They have motors of just about any kv and size. They have I think 2 more motor lengths and about twice as many kv choices for any given length.

Price - This one easily goes to Medusa. Price range is 185-270 for Neu and 105-145 for a similar sized Medusa. (I am not incuding 1527's) The smallest Neu is 50 dollars more then the most expensive medusa.

Build Quality - I don't know who to give this to because I really haven't payed any attention to this. Not many motors fail, and most of the time it is because of extreme conditions. The average person will not blow too many Neu's or Medusas. What it really comes down to is performance.

Performance - I would give the slight edge to Neu at the moment, but that could easily change. Both motors are made for flight, so they will perform differently is vehicles. Medusa's are made more for helicopters and Neu's are more for planes by what I can tell.

This is where I would ask for some info. Does anyone have some eagletree data of any motor or know a place that has tested either motor in a controlled setting. I want to hear from people who have tried both motors and know what they prefer.
