Neu 1512 vs. 1515

rotary, the more I mess with this motor, the more I am convinced that I got a mislabeled motor. I wanted the 1900kv motor and I think I got the 1400kv motor.

When I first installed it, I geared it for a 1900kv motor, which was 14/46 and ran it on 4S. I was very disappointed with the performance and thought there was something wrong with the motor, but the more I ran it, the more it looked as though all was well. Good temps and solid performance, although slow. I decided to gear it up so I went 16/44 on the gearing and it really woke up. Now I'm almost up to the speed where I was running the 9XL on 14/46 gearing, but the temps on the esc, battery, and motor are significantly lower.

Now at this point, I have myself convinced that I got a 1400kv motor, so I decided to try a 5S lipo pack and things really came to life. I left it geared at 16/44 and ran it hard for about 5 minutes. This would easily have driven my Feigao to over 200*F, but the Neu was at 160, the esc was at 135, and the battery was ambient temperature. It was wheeling everywhere in the dirt and grass with good smooth power. I was actually able to ride a wheelie by controlling the throttle. It's a very responsive motor.

Still in all, I did want a 1900kv motor, so I'm thinking of sending the motor to Neu for inspection. If you are interested in it, I suppose you could buy this one, and I'll send you the receipt with it so that you'll have a warranty.

PM me with an offer if you want.
