I plan on calling them Monday; they received my 1515 1Y last Friday. I'll let you know.

Tony, tell them how much we love their stuff while you're at it. haha

As frustrating as these recent changes can be they're still the best motors I've run to date.

Common sense tells me they will look at the problem then address the problem. If you have a problem they MAY pay return postage if asked.

I'm really concerned about this. I need to buy a 1527 but don't like the looks of what they have done to their motors. It looks like they have greatly reduced the quality and dependability of what was already an expensive motor! Now what? I have had two Leopard 5692's throw the magnets and take out a Castle 240HV on each occasion. I can't afford any more of that!!

[sailr]

the secret word here is ...to date! Have you run one of the new ones?

Haha. I'm just saying....has he run one of the new NEU's? I love the NEU's but not the way they've changed them.

If anyone wants to donate a hydra hv 240 I can give this new 1527 I have hear a workout

[BHChieftain]

On my 1515 1y the motor wires appear to be tied tightly to windings using strong cord.

I have a new 1515 1y build date Feb'11 that looks exactly like this.

I just finished 4 runs on it, it is working well so far...

Thanks for letting me know.

That being said, I'm kinda bummed since I recently sold my awesome 1.5Y neu that was built last year for this motor (wanted more KV vs. more prop)... the leads on the old motor do look a lot better.

I just looked. Doesn't look like I have.

I do have the new 2215. I'm pleased with the changes they mad to that. I think it's a safer approach. Doesn't seem cheaper to me but I wont know how it runs until it gets wet.

Has anyone summarized the changes? I'll be checking the gangs boats in the club. See who has what.

Adds to the suspicion that Steve Neu has outsourced his motors to China!

That is untrue. We are making the motors right here in San Diego.

We will look into the wire solder issue and see what the problem is.

We changed to the flex wire to address problems with wire fatigue due to vibration. It costs more but does reduce the returns for broken wires.
