Metallover- I hate to burst your bubble, but neu motors are 39mm, not 36mm like the medusa, so your watt/mm comparison doesn't really mean anything. The same length neu will always be more powerful because of the larger diameter. With the addition of medusa motors there is really no reason to buy a neu, unless you need a specific wind, a specific color, or you just have too much money.

Haha wow didn't expect that. Well that justshows you how good medusas are for their size. They are just as powerful as the neus but smaller. The fact that the neus are thicker really shows as the length gets bigger.

I totally agree with you on the second part.

You should also add the weight of the motors.

you definately do your research, and you seem enthusiastic, starting great build threads and what not. Could use more people with initiative like you. Nice review.

I found the 60mm to run a bit hot in my buggy. Great for the price, but I don't think it compares to a Neu in terms of durability and overall performance. The 60mm Medusa ran like my 1509, but didn't have the same punch to me as the 1512. I think the 70mm maybe the ticket though for Medusa's as a cheaper option than a Neu.

Pretty sure what he means is that the neu's are 39mm's with the finned versions. Am I wrong?

Yes, you're wrong. A finned Neu is 44mm. Also, a non-finned Neu is 40mm according to TeknoRC.

No, apparently the diameter of Neu 15xx series motors is 39.5mm.
