Neu motor questions...

Neu motors????......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A thought about Neu motors..............
I have got the feigao's figures outnow and have thought about a Neu...
I have read and looked hem over, however I have not been able to hmm shall I say "break them down by class.

My question is: Is there a way to break these motors down in a way more easily to understand what size/kind of hull they would work well in...

For example i have a 37 inmono i would like to put a neu in over the winter.
My thoughts would be for a 1521/1.5d 1850 kv.

I wouldnt mind a bit of overkill, i would like to be able to swing a nice weedchopper...lol

I know I can post a question and someone will recomend a size and wind but it would be nice to window shop and have a better understanding of how these motors are rated..


Any help would be appreciated by me and I am sure many others who might wanna take the step up...


Thanks Dave

I run a 1521 in my 36" Sport hydro and it goes real nice. I guess it really depends on the hull and weight. It wouldn't hurt to run a 1527 in a 36"-37" boat. Guys were running the 27's in the Gas size hulls but found that they are abusing the motors and moved up to the 2215-2230 motors.

OH raynaldo.... on to NEU motor
i set up my H and M sport 21 with the 2200KV .. 4s1p with a CC 125 and a 642 D/T
ran 49 ish first run and then put a D/T cut down 447-45 MM and it ran 52.
nice motor... god for a hydro but thats it. sucks in my cat boat

Good info Taylor, I think I may give a 1515 1.5D a try in my Whip next. I will GPS my Whip with the 1515 1Y and let you know how fast it is.

Is that the 1515 1y Taylor??
I was planning on putting one in a 32" cat with 4s1p

Ok guys I misstated my question... I wasnt looking for a recomendation for my boat.

I was looking for a way to possibly breadown the motors boat size and class?

EX: Motor xxxx would be good for a boat of hull size xxxx on xxx cells.

And maybe post it as a sticky???? Hope my question is clearer now....

Here would be an example of a mistake that could be made.
Ive got a 30 in mono and i wanna run a 1506/1y on 8 cells. for 175 dollars that sounds like a deal.

Actually I have no idea what I would do with a motor with such hi kv???.

Ok try this for a rewording. : a motor application chart. would be nice

or at least a general application chart considering there are many variables

Thanks guys Dave

I think one can figure things out a motor for a certain size boat by
knowing the KV you need and since you know the size of the Feigao cans,
you just pick the closest match on the NEU line.
For instance:
If you use the 8L on a boat (+-3000kv Long can)
You'd get a 1512/1.5D (3200kv)

now the trick is once you go beyond XL... that I cannot help you with, since there
isn't a straight comparison... I own a 1527/1.5Y that pushes my 10lb. 1/8 pretty quick and that is the best reference I can give you.
OR
If you know the size of the rotors on the Feigao motors, you can compare it to the NEU pretty easily since their names are the size of the rotors.

Why do these motor threads always get hijacked by people

bragging about there sh-t!

I wish someone would have put it that way to me since the beginning! Seems like anytime I asked this same question I was also put off by others telling me what they run and NOT how to decide what to run.

Some have been around since or before the lower price line (Feigao) motors so they simply dont remember us rookies or newb's have not had to learn the way they did. Figuring out motor lines such as Feigao's in my opinion really helps decide which Neu motor to pic based on dimension of can, rotor, and KV rating. You can pretty much determine with a Neu you can go up a couple hundred KV compared to the Feigao's and be safe because of efficiancy and well, just a little more quality throughout. Also remembering to stick to around the 30K rpm is a good basis to start then decide how much torque you need by sizing the can. OSE and other sites dont charge what they do unless they are infact quality which was something I also had to get over at first. So hense the term "you get what you pay for"!!!

Mike...

Sorry, but those posts seemed OT, and could have been done as a private

message.

Back on topic.

I understand what your saying about motor size and KV.

But am also wondering how you begin to size a Neu for a particular hull?

Do you figure how may cells you want to run and work from there?

Or is it more complicated?

You talking about my comments?

[Jeepers]

To many choices with the Neu motors.
trends I have noticed for a few Neu motor sizes in boats are. no KVs as there are more choices

2s lipo 1509, 1512, 1515.

4s lipo 1512, 1515, 1521, 1527.

6s lipo 1515, 1521, 1527.





In a 37 inch mono I would probably run a 1521 1.5d or 1521. 1y

I dont run boats that large so maybe someone has a better suggestion.

[Raydee]

Most of the people that run Neu motors don't have any motor chart. We go by what others have run and what have worked for them. That is why when you ask "I have a 37" boat running 4s, what new motor can I run" you will get people saying "Here is what I run and here is what it does". Nobody is bragging about anything. We are here on the forum to learn and to help, its no wonder why the FE Vets that used to help and post have since stopped. I run Neu motors and Fiegao motors and all of my setups have been recommended to me by someone that knows better and had run the setup in the past.

[Mich. Maniac]

Thats exactly what I meant. It took me a while to figure that out and I now understand why that came about. FE vets have done everything the hard way ti get us where we are with all these wonderful products and advise.

The only thing left to understand Is the "D" and "Y" part of their labeling. I think it has something to do with the way they are wound.
