why is a neu better than a feigao?

[aqwut]

also if you look at the inside can/windings of the higher quality motors.. You will notice that the windings are "tight" and "even".. Whereas if you were to look inside a cheap motor, you would find all kinds of spaces/gaps.. and after a while.. lots of corrosion on the windings itself... Some of the KB45 windings are just plain awful.. and some are good. The worst one I've seen had a gap where my pinky would fit into it, can't beleive it still ran ok...

no one mentioned that the neu motors are black...

And some are smooth and others are ribbed. Pick your please.

Actually feigao rotors are sintered. All sintered magnets are one piece that run the whole length of the rotor (except for some feigaos which have two or three magnets next to each other). The process of making them is from bits of magnetic material ground up into a paste, then molded into shape. They can be nickel plated or wrapped, so can't always tell that a rotor is sintered just by looking at it.

Are you sure? I know what sintered is, I just didn't think they used it for those rotors. There are sintered and non sintered magnets.

neu's rotors are kevlar wrapped to whereas Feigaos are not...

Can i add press fit end bell on Feigao too

half pressed, and not glued. sometimes a slide fit <-- i like the sound of that

Thats what she said.


Pressed endbells are not a signal to a bad motor. Aveox- the granddaddy of neu, uses some pressed endbell motors and they run just fine.

What do you mean the granddaddy of Neu? Educate me.

That's true for the Castle version. Original Neu uses carbon fiber wrap, as well as Medusa and many others.

Not sure if the conductive carbon fiber will do anything good to the thermal issue because of the "micro turb current". I am sure Steve neu must be smarter than me in motor design, just curious.

I believe S Nue used to work at/own (not sure which) Aveox and then formed Neu

He was a high ranking employee at Aveox, he was one of the head designers of their motors- took the design with him when he left and created neu motors

well, hopefully the aveox I just bought off Linc does me well then. I like the natural aluminum can(no anodizing)

WOW thats awesome to here about the Aveox - Neu connection. Has anybody been to the Aveox website recently? Its pretty cool!
