You really cant go wrong with either. I own both Lehner(1940) and Nue(1512 and 1515) and they are both top notch motors IMO. Neu was originally designed for air aplications. thats why the holes. Its no issue to cover the holes, but its a hassle and one of the downsides to the Neus. The lehner is just flat out an awesome motor. Powerfull and cool running. Just wish it had a couple more mm in the mounting hole depth.

I actually like the feeling of the Nue slightly better. The low speed drivability on the Nue is smoother IMO. It just torques up nice smooth and you can actually drive it at a low speed very easily, but still has excellent snap when you want it to go.

The Lehner is smooth also, but I feel like it doesn't handle the low speed fine control quite as smoothly. It goes ok at low speed then kind of all the suden hits a spike in the power band.

This could be just my setup, but thats my input as well. And then again... Who wants to drive at low speed anyway???:007:


Both are top notch and you will be happy with whatever you choose.

Excuse me , Hayden, but the 110mph speedrun you're talking about was made with a sensor based motor(Aveox), using 24 cells in a pan car.
I believe the Lehner can do much more speed than the Aveox with the same setup.
The Neu was used by Nick Case in a dirt oval machine with the help of LIPO and 160mph speed run was at hand. I wonder what speed he could've achieved with the same size Lehner motor with the same number of lipo cells and controller?!!

i was talking about this car correct me if I’m wrong I’m not 100% sure but it looks like a lehner to me :018:

Cant see the pic...
Probably you're talking about another car, then.

Looks like a lehner, but it's hard to tell when it's on it's side.

:032:

The sticker kinda gives it away, though.

Yeah, and the >HIGH-AMP< tells more than enough..

That 'kinda' is an understatement.. :p

What does the car look like?
I really cant see the pic, BTW.

ok guys i was looking at motos and as you know i decided to go with the lehner. Now i know this motor is one of the best and i still plan on getting it, but if i dont end up getting as much money for christmas as i hope would there be and alternitive of motors. I want a motor that will work on 4s (using quark 125b) and will be reliable and smooth. I would obviously like it to run cool but i will be getting the rc monster heatsink, so if it does not run as cool as i would like would this and or another heatsink keep the motor cool enough for everyday use. I was looking at this motor http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...ao5408L&cat=20 but i dont know if it is good or not. I saw in an rc driver magizine the got a revo up to 48 with this motor and 4lipos. Is this motor good will it do those speeds and will it run smooth and cool(with the right heatsink(s) ) also if you have a better recommendation for a good motor under $150 bucks that will meet my needs. thank you

The L motors are a thing of the past. An 7XL will definately be the best bet for 4S.

would the 7xl do fairly well in my maxx. would it reach 45 and would it stay semi-cool with the rc monster heatsink. does the 7xl run smooth.

If you running the quark 125. You could choose a neu motor.
The problem i seen with 8L is heat issues on a mt.

i would chose neu but i am looking for a motor under 150. so do you think the 7xl with heatsink, 4s lipo, and rc monster heatsink would run good.

yes, it runs perfect.

7XL is a faaaaaaantastic motor.
