So would it be possible to buy the CC/Neu can and use it on Neu motors?
Was anything special done to the motors in covering the cooling holes?

The ones by tekno are still hand built by neu in their factory, the castle ones are a neu design but being mass produced in china at CC's factory. This is per patrick. I would expect the CC version to be 125-150

The 1st motor being built is the 1515 and would expect that to be around the 180 mark?

I would think it would be less than $180, because the ESC is going for ~$170~ about, and the combo is supposed to be selling for about $300 (street price).

Yeah, didn't think of that. The MM and CM36 is $10ish more if you don't buy them in the package

Theres also something about the "proper" neu motors having a carbon stator, and the mass produced ones wont have. I think it was the stator, it was some familiar sounding component anyway :) And yes, there will be no big open holes like the current neus designed for aero use.

I'd be surprised if they came out with any "pro" 1/10th motors unless you considered castle-style neu 1509/1506 motors to fit that category. Though, who knows.
wrong, for example Tekin motor are rebuildable, with solde tabs and engraved endbell, they still failed ROAR approval why ?
They are delta wound,

ROAR legal motor must be Y wound motor, which is obviously more difficult to drive sensorless :/ ...

Your thinking of the rotor.

Why is Y obviously more difficult to drive sensorless?

You guys want to know a strange thing and why I don't like ROAR at all. The Trinity N60 and N40 are both Feigaos 380C and they seem to be Delta wound and they both are approved by ROAR. ROAR to me is like the FIA, but ROAR board seems to be getting their hands wet $$$$$$$ if you kow what I mean.

No, that just can't be true, I just don't believe it, I mean that would never happen........

It always seems like Bob Novak can make things happen with roar though.

Kind of like some have them and some don't.

Thats quite a claim, If its true, thats a heck of a conspiracy towards other brushless manufacturers. Because its in the rules that Y winds are the only ones legal.

I just checked the roar rules and trinity, the only brushless motors trinity is saying are legal are the duo 10.5 and 17.5 motors


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

Look at the bottom and it says they are ROAR legal http://www.superiorhobbies.com/istar...&id=TRI0201!SH.

I opened my Feigao 380C http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...AO_380C&cat=20 and my Trinity N60 and they look the same. You guys be the judge. I can't find my camera and once I do I'll show you guys the inside of both.

Rotor is probably too big and MOST of the redline motors are probably delta wound (since most, but not all, are whole turns and do not have "half turns"). There's a few things that need to be met.

This is why I don't race... Too much politics and BS.

You can't always tell if a motor is wye or delta by looking at the inside. The lehner 19xx series for example can be switched from wye to delta only by resoldering a few connections on the rear endbell. You don't need to alter the coils.
