Neu motor the best? Why?

What makes the Neu worth $260 alone while you can get a speed control and motor from really reputable companies for the same price?

I have learned in most cases you get what you pay for. When I buy cheap, I buy the same thing but a better version the next time. What makes Neu the "Gold Standard"?

They are the best because they are the most expensive, isn't that how it works?

Neu motors use a very good design and high quality materials. You end up with a more powerful motor that is also more effecient (runs cooler) and is lighter. Plus they are made to better tolerances and should last longer. Generally everything is better, and you pay for it. They are also hand made, which drives the cost up. Plus Steve has to make some money on them!

The MMM/castle neu combo should be the best of both worlds. From what I have heard the castle neu motors work as well as the real neus, and are optimised for car use. They are heavier, but use larger bearings and are sealed.
