GorillaMaxx360 · **Neu vs. Lehner -** 11.18.2006, 12:25 AM

Ok i have 300 bucks to sepnd on a motor i was trying to decide between a lehner 1950 or a neu 1515. Second question what is the benifit of the added bonus of the high amp draw on the lehner. Which motor would you guys recommend. Cheaper is good but is it worth it to pay an extra 60+ bucks for the lehner over the neu. Also i am looking with a motor that will last a while, run cool, long runtimes, and fast, i will be bashing 70% and racing 30%. Your opinions will be greatly apreciated. Thanks

Many people have been very happy with the Neu motors and are basically in the same class quality-wise. The Neu is a 4 pole motor so you have to use an ESC capable of driving a 4 pole motor: MGM, Quark, Mamba Max. The BK ESCs will not work well at all from various reports. It is also bigger in diameter by a little.

Both motors are great but Neu has holes for cooling. Keeping dirt and dust out of motor is very important.

The neu is a 4 poler and will have got more torque, it are very nice motors. I am impressed by their quality.

Serum, how strong is the Neu in comparison to the Lehners?
Is there that much of torque and power?
I might get a motor for my touring car and buggy.

I like both motors. It is a hard decesion really. I have few minor quarks
about both. Nothing major. Both are great. 4 pole or 2 pole
what esc you have?
Just a few things to think about.

I only have a 1950, 1930, and 1920 and other few kontronik motors. I've never tried the Neu.

Do you think it would be worth it?

I think it would be...

What were the querks of both?

Haveing holes in the neu kind of sucks. You need to find a way to block them.
I have found the neu runs different. It is not as smooth all the time as the lmt.
I have had the neu run backwards for a split second Not sure why.

The lehner has shally mounting holes. That was only draw back to it.

Keep in mind that Mike has designed a cover for the end of the Neu's...

all this talk of neu! i own a lmt 1950, flawless! no need to try something else. i love this motor so much that i couldn't sell it. neu seems to have a nice motor, but i just don't understand some of you guys. i remember some of you guys coming down on the pletty's(4 pole) pretty hard. now mike carries a 4 pole motor and everyone loves them. seems funny! not trying to pick at anyone, just calling it as i see it.

Every motor has its benefits.
More poles more torque less RPM
Less poles less torque more RPM
Efficiency in the middle around 30000RPM :)
Plettenberg like Aveox has very strong magnetic friction, while NeuMotors designed to have less.
Motors with less poles have a broader RPM range with good efficiency and less sensitive to timing, while motors with more poles have opposite.

so the neu is better than the pletts.

If its for speed the lehner has it all just look a the world record rc boat team jag scored over 140mph just been broken this month I think. I was looking at the charts and most of the boats used lehners the top 3 of one chart where lehners but the rest didn’t even come close. What about that 110mph rc car that was lehner too.
I had a lehner and it was great I put a apc prop on it and got the tips of the propeller to break the sound barrier and it screamed the prop was falling to bits lol
I have had no experience with any other motors so thats all I can say is do your research:) i would imagine both are good in their own ways.
