Neu motors

[glassdoctor]

Sorry guys, there are no threaded holes in the back even though it looks like it. :)

I made little plastic "nuts" that fit tight into the motor holes. So the bracket helps secure the motor so it can't move around, but it's not really bolted to the motor. The brace just slips into the motor holes basicly. It was made for my C50 can which does have screws on both end of the can, and my 540C feigao which I drilled and tapped holes in the rear endbell.

That seemed like the slickest way to get some support for the rear of the motor without drilling holes or making a fancy motor brace.

Won't adding a cover add to heat issues and defeat the purpose? Maybe they're not an issue -- where I run right now the dirt is like powder it's so dry. Gets all over everything, but maybe as long as the bearings are smooth and clean, just blowing air through the can from time to time would take care of dust inside.

I really like the look of that motor with the fins and all, and the price seems nice for the specs. When are the motors coming?

I talked to RCM Mike about these motors last week. He has been running one for a while and made cover for his from piece of lexan from an old body. I asked him the same thing about blocking the holes and reducing airflow causing heat issues and he said that the motor is so efficient, there are no heat issues to worry about.


BTW.. They just went up on the site. Still all listed as out of stock though.
