[video200]

getting realy currius.

how much of a difference are there between the motors ? and is the difference in chost realy worth it for a sport runner ?

with OSE beeing out of the 12 XL i was looking for earlyer i had time to explore the alternatives. but are the chost of a neu 1515 worth it compared to a 540 XL ?

The 1515 Neu motor will run cooler than a Feigao and will run for a longer time on a charge because they are very efficient. The Castle/Neu motors are a little cheaper and I was told there is just a minor performance difference between them and a actual Neu 1515. For the money I would go with the Castle/Neu if you are a sport runner.

The 12XL motor and the Neu 1515 don't compare, the 1515 is 2200KV so keep that in mind too, the 7XL motor is more of a comparison to the 1515. I have owned both and while the 7XL was fast it rn way hotter and could not turn a larger prop like the Neu could.

Hmm I bought one of the ARC motors for my flying wing, from what I hear they are nice motors.

i was looking at the 1515 1.5y is also 1500kv so they should be able to compare in rpm but the neu is a better motor for shure. but is it worth 3X as much.

[Raydee]

Depends on the person I guess, they are to me but not to others. After running Neu's in my hulls I can't see running anything else.

i havent been running any of the high end motors. but i am connsidering it more and more.
and a neu seems like a better choise then the german motors even with the low € now a days

The castle motors have been doing real well in boats.

"but is it worth 3X as much."

Considering i fried a 580L and a KB45, then went to a 15271Y with a larger prop, im gonna say yes, they are worth it...........stupid low temps and lots of power.

[Raydee]

Hey Steven, any plans for a cooling jacket for the 1717 motors?

but OSE dont reccomend them over 4s lipo
but sinse you "online" steven. when do you exspect the neu 1515 1.5y to be back in store ? ( and the 12 XL that i was originaly looking for when i strayed of the budget path )

But please remember to make apples to apples comparisons. A 580L or kb45 cant be and are not advertised to be in the same power range as a 1527.

There is a sample running around somewhere. I'm pretty sure its a forum user that has it

[video200]

hopfully a 1515 should be more then able to push a DF 33 and\or a 26" drifter s

Which one am I saying is 4s that you want to run 6s on?

Neu motors arrive all the time, there isnt a date given to me when I order.
