Today i give you the history of NEUMotors and the relationship with castle creations. Also how to watch out for fakes! Thanks for watching! Subscribe for more!
Thanks for sharing. Your the first person that has mentioned that the motor is a delta wound motor. I had no idea that RC motors come in both Delta and Wye configuration. Just like a full size 3Ø motor. Thanks for this awesome video. 👍
Lol! I been around the hobby for a minute. Im pretty sure most windings are wye nowadays they are more efficient. But yeah Neu offered the deltas as well to get different kv. Some say the deltas are a little smoother on bottom end and have a little more torque. All i know is that they all haul ass!
Thanks for the information. I find it interesting and very educational. As for fake stuff it's a gamble because often times the small differences create big headaches. @@SuperFastRc
Cool I thought I was probably the only one still running vintage motors😂 I still have two 1406-1y 5700kv neu sensorless 4 pole motors. Got them from Amain hobbies so I know there not fakes. I remember the fakes back when they were still being sold especially the 2200kv for the 8th scale stuff.
I wish I had seen this video first. I got lucky and bought the real 1515 1y 2200kv. Checking it as you described. The mistake was I bought mm2 with that motor for my losi 8ight xe. You mentioned lowering gear ratio. Hopefully lowering punch and percentage of throttle doesn't cook the esc
@@SuperFastRc thanks for the reply. I realize now that it is more of a truggy setup. You have any recommendations where to start on a pinion size due to my mistake. I plan on racing not bashing.
The torx screws on your castle motor kinda threw me off a little bit . I've bought several Castle creations motors directly from their website and I've never received any was torx head screws in mind, they were all hex bit 1.5mm.
@@SuperFastRc dang man, I'm sorry to hear that. It sucks when you really think you are showing an authentic castle motor in comparison to a fake and then end up finding out the motor you thought was authentic was just a more deceiving knock off of castle motors. This world has gotten so crazy, it's hard to tell what is real and what is fake with anything anymore including people lol.

Absolutely, at this point i would suspect any new castle ccneu type motor would be a fake - castle hasn’t made that design in years.

The fakes are still sold. Now they are even copying the new style motors.
@@SuperFastRc that sucks but it can't be stopped since there made over there now. our patent laws are meaningless out side the USA
Nice comparison. Answered many of my questions.
Really my best advice is to avoid the old style ccneu motors unless you can make for sure its an original. So many counterfeits.

The mamba monster 2 is a beast. I wouldn’t worry about the esc. Mines like 10 years old still going strong 💪

@@stevebates3573 I used to run that setup i would try a 14t pinion. Then if thats not enough try a 15
link please
What speed control would you use with one of those motors and an e-Revo 2.0
Pretty sure I accidentally bought a fake
You can use the stock speed control or a mamba monster 2 would work great too. They are not bad motors they just dont last long
@@SuperFastRc would a mamba monster X work as well?
@@leviralston1261 yep would work just fine

Lol! Thats because this one was a fake too!
You really cant trust these old castle style motors. Most of them are fakes at this point. Very few actually are castles
@@SuperFastRc oh really?? I admit I didn't get a chance to finish watching the video. Did you mention that in this video?
@@jeremybreeden4228 nope found out when it demagnetized in the rc pro race lol
