Leopard Hobby 4-Pole CC/Neu Clones

[supafastsupra2]

Looks like "Leopard Hobby" has copied the CC/Neu line of motors. Might even be from the same factory, who knows? Anyways, Looks like they have a broader/different array of kv's than Castle sells not to mention what seems to be a 56mm OD x 92mm length powerhouse?
Here's a link to their site. If anyone knows any more info/ finds feedback post it up!

I feel like HK is more innovative lately than copiers. I'd bet they're from the same manufacturer. A lot ou US companies have been importing lately!

Very cool man!
I don't see any prices but they look just like the Castle motors

this one is 1515 size priced around $90, surely will become cheaper if HK imports them. The high price leads me to believe its the real deal.

1512 for $84 availible 1400kv, and the 1800kv and 2700kv that castle offers.

[Brushless55]

What 90 bucks!
I'm wanting to build a 45" twin brushless hydro and two of those on 5s should be flippin sick!

So, in that case, they should be excellent compared to say.... a Feigao? Don't dis it till you try it. My Castle/N eu's are as good as any Neu I've owned. And much more inexpensive.

I'll wait to see how the Hobby King's Big Mono fairs with one of those 40mm jobs in there.

We will hear in the forums within a few weeks of how well these motors can move a 41" mono.

BTW, those Turnigy Outrunners are pretty sweet, 1100 KV, 100A @ 25.9V (7S) = 2590 Watts,

Dude, for $35....

No dis'n. Just warning the obvious. I cant say the same about the castle/neu's. While I only have one castle/ neu 2000kv motor it does not perform the same as any 1515 "Y" series I own. Your mileage may vary but the Neu's are better in my hulls unless I need an LMT. Then again I like to run with every ounce of performance.

I do agree with M4A1 on this. Altough I have different experience in the power of a castle/neu compared to a true neu, and find the castle variant, if anything, have the same if not more power than a Neu. (comparing my castle/neu 1512 to a neu 1512)

I only posted the thread up because they're offering different kv's otherwise not available through Castle (at least not at this point in time) and would surely be usable by us boat guys. Definitely going to be waiting on a review/test of that 41" mono from HK.

[Brushless55]

But who is copying who?

[Rumdog]

There is not a 2000kv Castle/Neu. The 1515 is 2200kv. I own 2 of which in every way perform as well as the 2 Neu 1515 1y's Ive owned. I actually am currentl running them on 5s with x447 props in a twin cat with very little heat. I dont know if we can reall call a motor a copy. I mean, Brushless motors all really have the same design with the obvious variants in windings/poles, etc and quality of the parts. It's like saying that a lipo is a copy of another.

[crabstick]

can someone buy the 730KV model listed here and let me know how it goes

4880 watts = 6.5HP
