Neu Motors and dust

Nope, still too short with the aluminum plate.

So i see you can get Neu motors with fans mounted to them:

These look awesome and if Neu is installing these, dust can't be a HUGE problem(???)...

The Bigmaxximums also have fans on them, has anyone with a BM ever had troubles with dust getting in the motor?

thanks

hi

the question is if those fans on the NEU blow directly into the motor or just blow over the can. the plettenberg fans only create a blow over the finned can. the can itself is closed.

the NEU are still aircraft motors. i don't get it that they have not yet designed new motors with closed cans as obviously they are efficient enough to run cool without all those holes. its the same sad thing with those new kontronik kira motors or the new lenher versions with fans. they are just too open for real offroad applications and blow directly into the motor.




the fins on the pletti are gone but you can imagine where they were....before the little stone got in there. but imagine what would have happened if the fan blew that stone into the motor can itself......

Cooling the inside of the motor is a little pointless since the coils are attached to the can. Maybe cooling the magnet helps?

As others have said, the BM fans blow air on the outside, so it's not an issue. I can see fans on the Neus helping more if the fin orientation was lateral, not perpendicular to the can, but regardless, they really don't need fans IMO.

Just take a piece of thin aluminum sheet and make a cover. It doesn't have to be thick to keep dirt out, but it should be thermally conductive so you can use the motor mount as a secondary heatsink...

As I did. :) Heh

Just got my RC-Monster Neu dust cover and I was wondering what is the best way to attach it to the motor? Some kind of glue? Pressed on (will it stay on)?

Just press it on :) I have yet to have mine fall off or anything. Did not need any adhesive
