As much as I loved my 1940 before it shorted out - this still doesn't solve their problems. Poor service, poor distribution in the USA, and more expensive than an equally good Neu motor. Besides, the Neu has great service and made in the USA.
I agree totally, on all accounts. That new can design is pure beauty- I wonder if anyone else will alter their designs in the future? We live in hope...
It looks like that motor design is pretty much for aircraft and hydro. It wold be nice if they came out with a closed can like the original and had longer screw threads. I would also like to see someone come out with some kind of rear end bell support to the chassis so the end of the motor doesn't float. Even the best attachment at the front motor mount will have some flex on big impacts.
Not bad. Now if there was something that would allow a little adjustment up or down depending on how your motor is mounted. But that's kind of what I had in mind to keep the rear of the motor from moving around.
Those clamps have been around a while for the 19xx series motors. I have a set that came from FD a quite while back already. They do the job OK, but I still prefer the front plate mounting for ease of adjustability.
I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
They don't use segmented rotors, but I think because of their high quality construction, they would kick the nemesis and feigao away.( I think history is repeating itself here again:(.. if you remember correctly..LOL!!).

Nice to meet you!

Using the motor as a chassis brace?? I rather have them "floating", to allow for some chassis flex. Needs sturdy motormounts, that's true.
Well, I can tell you what I did on my last truggy was to simply wrap the rear end bell a couple times with some narrow electrical tape. Can't even see it on the Neu motor. What that did is allow some kind of cushioning at the rear of the motor so the chassis wouldn't get all beat up. That's probably all I'll do for future too. Just thought it would be cool if there was something else out there that didn't look as ghetto.
