My neu motor is very very hot..

It got up to 360f. I don't know what the problem is, my guess is an internal wire came loose with all of the moving from one car to the other. The last time I ran it it got to 260.


Once it get's that hot, is it a goner? Is there anything I can do?

I have an erevo stock, with a 19t pinion. the Neu is a 1512 2.5d with a mm running 4s

lol, i've read that you should not get your motors over 200F. I think the high temps demagnetize the magnets in the motor and you end up with a paperweight. 260F is bad enough and 360F has highly likely destroyed something. Good luck with it lol.

I'm glad that's funny to you, I hope you never ruin a 250.00 motor jerk off.

Easy there buddy, you should have been keeping an eye on the temps of everything during your runs.

I was mid race..

Shoot neu an email and see what he can do for you. I'm not sure what the problem is though, but its most likely a short in the motor winds.

check your motor screws, they might have bottomed out on the windings maybe?


if not sounds like an internal short

Relax guys. Neu will be more then happy to repair your motor. Do a complete check up on your vehicle to see if anything is binding. Check your connectors. Check to see if the bearing on the motor is ok as well. Check to see if nothing is binding the transmission. I had an issue like that and found out it was my diffs that were binding causing my Neu 1521/1Y to go up to 145F (Which is not bad, but it was never getting over 120F). I opened my diff case and found the problem. I had forgotten to add shims and that caused just enough binding to give the extra heat.

I agree with him ^^ Hes smart

Found it.

When I soldered it, I let TOOOO much solder back up into the motor wire, causing it to become brittle and snap. I'm not sure if I can de-solder it, so I might just heat it up an bend it into it's final position.

Any ideas? And is my motor shot, it still works.

Send it back to Neu and get it fixed. The temps your motor saw might've done more damage then you think. The enemal probably melted off and that can cause a lot of problems.

I will, thanks.

Come to think of it, the wire came pre-tinned. :/

Anyone know what they charge to fix something like this, and the the turnaround time??

[e-mike]

the wire of the winding look like grey-dark.....do you run your motor like this(with the hole )or you have a end bell cover???
