RX8 or MMM combo?

I'm not making stuff up because I hate Neu or anything. I was just in the position of trying to piece together a reasonably priced 6s system using a MMM which basically meant I was trying to find a deal on a genuine Neu or a Medusa since CC only has the 2200kv motor. I ended up finding some decent deals on some Neus but they were usually crimped end bells, or open to debris, or both.

Non sealed:


This one looks like non-screw captured:


The Tekin system is expensive, no question about it. But at least they're offering a true 6s solution with their combos. If you want a properly rated KV motor for 6s with the MMM you either get a Medusa (non sealed, pressed endbell) or buck up for a real Neu which makes it even more expensive than the Tekin combo.

Original Neus are open because they where designed for heli, airplane, and marine applications where dirt isn't present. A couple pieces of aluminum foil tape takes care of this, just as I have done on my Medusas. As for crimped ends, I have no idea where your getting that from because that pic doesn't show the back. The front is part of the can itself and I assure you that the back is not crimped/pressed/glued on, it is a Neu and it is screwed on. I do agree though that it is great that Tekin has multiple motor choices. I would have bought one if they where out a month ago.

Well, I was under the impression that the smooth can 1515s that offshore electrics had weren't screw captured. But if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. The open-ness of the motor isn't a huge deal since you can just tape it, I had planned on doing that if I got a Neu.

But then I figured, if I'm going to pay $400 for the MMM + a Neu motor then I might as well just get the Tekin system and try it out.

So am I to understand that you have actually tried the 2200 CC motor yourself and this is from your personal experience?

Or is this just what you heard?

Based on what I have seen Patrick say the motor was set to be what is the most efficient setup and you change the voltage and/or programming to suit your needs.
