Guys, just got a Neu 1515 from Mike, and i was concerned about the large holes.. Entire bricks would fit thru.. not so good..

Mike included something SWEET! check the pics, emailed him about it, they will be available any time

(just like the slipperential, waiting is for the motor mounts, they are ready to be packed and shipped!!)

cool, I've been waiting for the slipperential......can't wait to get one.....merry xmas to me .....when i get one that is.......& that is awesome about the cap for the motor......i'm sure that will keep alot of crap out of the motor too

What is that made of? I would guess plastic for cost, machinability, etc, but aluminum for the heatsink effect...

Wont the effeciency of the motor be affected by the cap?

I think those large holes were made to cool down the motor a bit more.

BrianG · 11.04.2006, 02:29 PM

That's why it comes with the motor as a seperate item, so you can choose whether you wish to use it or not. IMO, the windings are right on the can so as long as you have adequate can cooling, the holes will do little.

It's of plastic, don't know what type, seems durable to me!

And it doesn't affect the efficiency the motor. Efficiency and temperature are two different things, and what's better? having sand and stones in your motor or having it 1-2 degree C hotter?

captain harlock · 11.04.2006, 04:47 PM

Hmmm...yeah that's right.
Well, good luck with that dude.
I might get the smaller one for my future buggy.

wel, eversince Mike will be producing them, they can help all of us dudes with our luck!

LOL

How does it hold on?

It's a deal breaker that cap for me. I think the holes could cause problems in the places I use my truck.

squeeforever · 11.04.2006, 08:36 PM

Nick, what do you mean by deal breaker?

aqwut · 11.04.2006, 09:26 PM

an aluminum cover would be nice.... imagine running that motor with the holes one a dry dirt track.... heheh.. is it right to say, good-bye.... the cover's nice touch.. but aluminum would even be better.... just use aluminum duct tape... ;)

coolhandcountry · 11.04.2006, 09:46 PM

What is the cost of the new cover? I got neu motor long time ago. I have to
ask mike about this. I like the idea.

jhautz · 11.05.2006, 01:28 AM

I want one!!!!! I use black electrical tape over the holes now with no cooling issues at all. A black plactic slip on cover is a trick little solution. I'm sure it cant be any worse than the electical tape for cooling.

I'm all over it as soon as they are available. The tape works, but looks like a hack job on such a sweet motor.

Actually - there is an aluminum tape that you can get. We use it quite often in the aircraft industry. You might try a hardware store - and look for metalic duct repair tape.

Crap... Just looking at this picture. Am I gonna have to unsolder my 5mm connectors from the motor wires to fit this cover on? It looks like the holes are just big enough to fit over the wires without the coneectors installed.:mad:
