Leopard Hobby 4-Pole CC/Neu Clones

[Brushless55]

Any news on the Big 5692 series if they are selling them and were ? I sent them a email but did not get a reply on it i want to test 2 of them in my next project , MHZ Drambui on Ice 53"catamaran.

Is this the size of a Neu 2215?

is it just me or has anyone else noticed the price of the Castle 1515 going down?
Hmmmm...

Definately. I can find them regularly for what would have been a steal just 2 months ago. And brand new. But I guess thats what drives the market. Tough business to be in for the store fronts.

Well, some pics of the 4074 motors for you guys if interested. (mine are slightly bigger, 4174 in size). They are going to push my HPR115 to an unknown speed.

I had a few runs on my Leopard 2200, so far seems good.
On 4s and x440 it pulls nice and stays cool with the stock silicon jacket.
Will be getting Neu 1515 cooling jacket, will see how it fits.

Will see how it compares to the Castle/Neu of the same KV that I have coming.

Yes

Seems to me that people are looking at this in the wrong way. Maybe it is a knock-off and maybe it isn't. I'd rather buy one of these Leopard motors than a Feigao, it's built off a more with-the-times design and from the little I've heard from people that own them they perform quite well. I'm sure a CC Neu will be better quality and for sure backed by better service, and it's up to YOU whether or not that's worth the extra money. Then you have a genuine black can Neu which you cannot deny is a very high quality motor but at a rather steep price. Perhaps these can fill the niche in the market left hollow by Medusa stepping out of the RC motor market?

Anyone Else been running/testing these motors ?

Vasy, I suggest you stick a 447 prop on that motor if you want to wake it up.
Crabstick, have you seen all the videos of the leapord motor in the Insane hydro? Consistent 65 mph with a pitched up H6 prop and 4s 1p lipos. Are you still not sold yet?

Very well stated and an opinion shared by many of the FE guys here. One comment was that the Leopard appeared to be "about 90% or so of a Neu and about 1/3rd the cost". Guys have had great success with it in the new Insane Hydro and you can look into that particular post started by Properchopper (Tony) to get more details. Here are pics of a dyno test set up I just finished with a 4074Leopard mounted in the test fixture. I will post more info on it in the forums under a separate thread: "Brushless Motor Comparison Testing"
