Taxes are taxes, but that's not what I meant lol. In Europe, you're not allowed to make our wonderful ESCs over 60V lol.

So when shaw we see one? My truggy is ready to go and since we are on the subject, are you going to make a sensored 4 pole motor for 10th scale? They are allowed by ROAR you know.

What do you mean exactly? Is it just for "toys" manufacturers? I'm in Switzerland (not in the European Union) and planning a car to operate on up to 30s LiPo. I've heard that Germany has very strict laws for high voltage.

Linc's right; I was thinking of something a bit smaller. Basically a line of motors in between the CM36 series and the 15xx series. Medusa had a solid line of motors in that segment; the 36-50's were stronger than the CM36 motors (sorry to say that here, but it's true), so were a better choice for heavier 10th scales (eg: Slash) or smaller 4WD vehicles (eg: CRT.5). I tried a CM36 4600 motor on 2s and 3s in my CRT.5 and couldn't gear it low enough to keep the motor and ESC cool, whereas the 36-50-3300 stays cool and has noticeably more torque, even geared a little aggressively. Medusa's 36-60mm motors were good for the really light-weight buggies or overpowered 10th scales (or allowed higher gearing for 10th scale speed freaks). In short, that would mean 1506/1509 or 1409 sizes if using Neu ratings.

Also coming. I didn't post a picture of the 1307 and 1309 motors, both of which are in prototyping now.

I been asking steve neu to make a 13 series for a bit now, he did do a 14 series, but its just a smaller diameter (outside) can. What will be the KV's (hopefully a 3500)?

Wow, looks like a nice lineup. Cant believe I didn't see this until page 3. Things move quick around here. Now I just need that production Mamba pro.

Patrick,

What's that polished silver motor doing behind the big one?

It's another motor I can't talk about. :P

[rotary rocket]

Is there a new ETA on the 2025? TIA.

Now we get some behind the scenes shots! I love it! Please provide more!!!


whats the power equivalent on the 2025 compared to Neu's?

They are quite similar -- consider that Steve Neu will be getting royalties on sales from these motors...

[phatmonk]

Now its time to go to 6s and match it to the 1717 1500kv

[What's_nitro?]

I smell a 1/5 scale conversion kit.....

The 2025 is being tested now in a Baja. It's a bit much for the MMM though...

High voltage. You know, 10S is good, 12S is better and 14-20S would hit the spot. Good thing we're not in Europe.
