strange neu deal

I know i'm gonna cop it for this, but...
Am i the only honest one here thinking this motor should be sent back and replaced for what was originally ordered and paid for???

Before you answer that - just imagine you owned a company, and your workers screwed up an order the same way... wouldn't you want your customer to be honest and send it back??
Even better - i know how ppl tend to worship Mike round here - so what if it was him that made the same mistake?? would you have sent it back or said nothing??

This is clearly the same thing as stealing... no wonder the world is turning to shit, with all the decency shrivelling away from society...

Does anyone agree with me here?? Or has this even crossed anyones mind??

i would email them again and ask them what they shipped out... and if they really meant to ship out a 1512 then tell them, but if they sent it out on purpose then

Looks to me like the girl on the phone read the numbers wrong, so she had the same motor in her hand. I am sure that the price was marked on it, so she just relayed that over the phone. So the mistake was hers, and probably had nothing to do with the price. The fact you can still use it for you application is great. The cost difference between a 1512 and a 1515 new are no that much. I do not see this as stealing. The motor may have been a test motor, or a repaired motor that had very little use and a caring first owner.

I recently bought a neu from a forum member for $100 bucks. It had a loose shaft, and he offered it to me for that price. I shipped it back to neu and they fixed it for me free of charge and returned it to me. So I also have a 1515 for $100 and do not feel like I stole it...

If Neu accidentall refunded your money for the motor, I would call them about that, otherwise I would enjoy the motor!

Castlecreations is a pritty big company, they have money enough..

Mike is 1 person, I dunno how much money Mike has, but I don't believe hes very rich. If Mike makes such a mistake it's not very good, if CC makes such a mistake than it's not such a big problem...

Again, sorry for my Englisch, I hope you guys will understand what I mean

Personally, I'd at least call them and let them know. Even if they asked for a few extra bucks, it's still a heck of a lot cheaper than a new one.

Mike accidentally sent me two lipo packs once when I ordered (and paid for) only one. I let him know and he was grateful.

Another time, I ordered a CRT.5 from someplace, but there was a bit of confusion between the warehouse and retail area. The truck came, but I ended up not paying a penny for it. I called the store and explained the situation, but no one ever did anything, and the credit card still wasn't charged.

What goes around, comes around. Call it karma, but I'd at least give them a heads up.

I just tried to call but they are not open yet....but I am going to get in touch with them today to tell them what happen

No way I would send it back, unless they contacted me and asked me to. For all I knew, she said 1515 on the phone and i misheard her....

sir you are correct..these motors are sold on a Neu site and all the motors sell for about the same price weather they are 1515 or 1512......they are motors that have been used for testing or returned for some reason.......nobody got screwed...they also come with full factory warrantee also

btw what are using the motor in rootar?

i knew exactly what had happened, i had called about 3 weeks ago asking if they had any testers or rebuilt ones forsale, but they didnt have any at the time so i shelled out and bought mine from mike, but mine is the new updated version, with bigger bearings, flatspot on shaft, and thicker screwed on endbell, (basically a teckno version but black with holes in the ends.)

im using mine in an Xray 8xb on a 5s 5000 flightpower pack

if i was you id keep it these are awesome 5s and 6s motor from what i understand, but on 4s they arent quite as "explosive"

Thanks for the confidence Rootar......I also knew I was ok but do feel better since i called

anyway the 1515/2.5 has a 80 amp rating ....you guys think these batts would suffice?

What do you mean with this? Do they sell motors that were not 100% perfect? And you can get them cheaper than normally?

Sorry my Englisch sucks like hell

if it is a 1515 did I get a better motor for my converted revo than I expected or should i sell this ......can i get 45mph out of this motor on 4's and still run cool? and what can I get out of it on 6's?

what thehell? i called yesterday and they told me they had no 15 series that kinda upsets me but glad you like it
