The medusa's, older Neu's, and CC Neu's are all very notchy (to me) when they are off the throttle. I dont know if that makes sense to any one else, but if you spin a tekno neu in your hand and then a medusa you can definatly feel the notches in the medusa over the tekno. I dont think it hinders performance in one direction or the other, but I like that the tekno one stays quiet when the truck comes to a stop.

I noticed the same thing as I run a tekno neu in my 8T. Definitely smoother when I compared it to the 36/50/1600 my bro has. Since I use the Tekno clutch system I realized it didn't matter as I don't get motor resistance when the clutch disengages.

It looks odd when I compare the 1512 Neu to a Medusa 50 or a 60 and realize the size difference. I am thinking I might hurt the Medusa motor and how can this little thing power my car. But it obviously can since others are using on their set-ups.
