Good idea?

Then again, I'm sure there is nothing wrong with going with a 1509, but if it's between a feigao L/XL in power, that would even be more than enough for a 1/8 buggy.

True

But if the L can runs cool in a crt.5 and thats a 10L, and thats not much Kv, I think a more efficent motor, and a little bit higher KV, should work

But I dont know

Frankly, they are very similar in design compared to the novak motors, but Novak is one step ahead of neu and uses sintered rotors verses the bonded segmented rotor that neu uses (that novak used to use). If you want save money, you could also get a novak velociti. These motors are so efficient, all you have to do is chose your wind for power instead of the size of the motor. You can go all the way down to 3.5 turns with them and granted it will do 35 mph and not overheat. Now, if you could fit a feigao rotor (which is sintered) into a neu can, that would result in ultimate power and efficiency.

Not to be a prick

But there is no way in crap that a novak is nicer then a NEU...... I have ran the novak 13.5, and I blew it in half racing it, yess wierd and doesnt happen much, but there motors are built with cheap screws, and the can is cheap alu

So I bought a Team Orion (the new vortex line) 10.5, and the screws and the can is MUCH better quality, and it even has a cool little internal fan, and it has a sintered rotor

NEU it is, I wont do a novak, or any sensored bl set up, I dont think it would run nearely as well as a sensorless NEU, and MM combo


Just IMO though
