Tekno RC Neu or Orig Neu

Is the rest really the same? Quality of wind, wire, magnets?

I have to question your comment about machine wound - please post where you heard this information.

Straight on the Tekno RC website it posted that the motor is hand made:

Tekno RC strikes again!

This time we've teamed up with the world's best motor manufacturer to bring you the finest 1/8th scale electric brushless motors available.

The Tekno RC Edition Neu Motors feature:

* Larger 5x13x4mm bearings front and back
* Sealed motor can
* Rear end bell is safely secured by Neu's latest design, a must for any car application
* Flat spot along length of shaft (no more grinding)
* Industry standard easy to find 4mm bullet plugs installed
* Cool blue anodizing and signature finned case lets your competition know you aren't messing around :)
* A selection of winds will be available to suit 3, 4, 5, and 6s 1/8th scale buggy and truggy applications
* These are genuine hand-built Neu motors, not mass produced

these are just my observations..............

so dont shoot the messenger



the closed ends , and weaker magnets - supposed to reduce cogging(there is a thread around here somewhere about how easy the tekno neus turn compared to a original neu) must make them run hotter, and maybe not as effiecent(sp)

either way i am very satisfied with mine, i just hope with a little gearing change i can get mine around 120* on a 70* day so it will be about 50* above air temps

I thought hot for a BL motor was 200 degrees???? Anyways with as good of quality as the Neu's are I would not worry too much about 170 degree temps. JMO

I don't see the closed ends as a detriment to the design. We probably mostly all run the rear RCM cover and do something to cover the holes in the front to prevent dust from getting in anyway.

I've got a 1509 and 1512 and the Tekno 1515 and I don't notice the Tekno motor spinning more easily by hand at all. Wish I had a 1515 to compare it to.

I can tell the Tekno 1515 has definitely got some more kick than the 1512, temps are lower, Amp draw is about the same (which makes sense - 2050kv for 1512 and 1700 kv for 1515). I am a happy customer.

My only complaint is the pre-attached bullets, took me an extra 2 minutes to unsolder them to put on the 6.5mm ones.

My 1.5d Tekno did not come with them preattached. Glad too unless it would of been the 6mm ones.
