WTB: Neu 1515 Series Motor & Question - RC-Monster Forums

Steve Krug · 05:23 PM

Hello all,

After running a 4S lipo pack through my Feigao 8XL, thats when I realized...man this thing is not going to work out...it is just heating up way too fast and it will never last under race conditions.

So...I need a neu motor. I'm posting it here because there is no way in my wildest dreams I could ever (at my age and occupation) afford to pay the full price of one. So those used Neu motors that you don't want....LMK how much you want for them because i'd like to purchase one!

Possible motors i'd be real interested in:

1515 1Y
1515 2.5d
1515 2d
1515 1.5d
OR any other Neus that will run well on 4S lipos.
Maybe even a Medusa??

I'm not going to run over 4S lipos because otherwise the batteries get way too expensive, so something that runs well on 4S, and something that can work with my MM speedo without burning it up...

The amp draw on these neus are much higher than that of an 8XL I assume correct? The temps of my 5000mah Zippy-H batts were around 120 degrees after running them in my 8XL.
As I said i'm not going for speed more so just going after efficiency and cool running.

If i find a deal and I want to buy it from you...I can't send the payment to you until august 1st because I won't have money until then...

Thanks,
steve

There's a great deal here:
http://www.neumotors.com/20061222/Special_Deals!.html
on a 1.5d, there's also a 2.5d, but that's too low kv for 4s.

A neu 1515 even used will cost you 200 - I think you are stuck with trying to sell the xl for 50ish and buying a medusa 2000 at 115. BOL

PS I called last week re special deals - they are all gone web site is very out of date...

I just called neutronics and both of them sold, and they haven't taken them off the page yet. Bummer

lol.... I called on those moors last week too. I bet they get 10 calls a day at prices like that.

I know somebody with a Hacker 7XL for sale

Nah...that 7XL will run WAY hot and pull too many amps.

No, it's a Hacker, not a Feigao.

Steve Krug · 07.21.2008, 08:29 PM

I know but it's still not as efficient as say a Neu or medusa I don't think..

bdebde · 07.21.2008, 08:48 PM

Hacker is on par (or close to it) with neu and lehner

Steve Krug · 12:44 PM

BUMP...

If there are 1512's that you need to sell also i'd take up a deal on that:)

Really just need a nice Neu to run in my MBX5-T, that will also run well in a Buggy too maybe...on 4S

For a very good condition Neu, maybe i'd spend around $150 if it's used.

You can get one new for 220 retail...

BrianG · 08.12.2008, 08:39 PM

If you're gonna run a 1512 on 4s in a truggy, I'd go with something like a 2d or 1.5y. It'll give you higher rpms and you can just gear down. Should run smoother, especially on startup...

Steve Krug · 08.12.2008, 10:06 PM

Sounds good.

YES, mike has got the 1512 2D in stock! Its 234, i should probably get the endbell cover too.

Brian, the 1512 1.5y is 1900kv.

but do you think the 2d will run hot with 4S? I've never had a neu and I just want to know the temperatures i'd expect.
And do you think this motor will heat up the lipos more or less than a Feigao 8XL would?

Thanks,
steve

I run a 2d on 4s in my buggy and I like it a LOT! It was supposed to be a 2.5d when I ordered it, but some error in marking the box vs the motor got me the 2d. Even geared 46/16 in my Hyper8, temps were good - even at ~55mph.

Now that I've geared to a more reasonable 46/14 (IIRC), it's much more controllable. I love being about 1 foot from a jump and still clearing it with ease.
