is the 1512 1.5d too small for the revo? at 3300kv that thing should be fast?

I think so...IMO you need the added torque of the 1515, I have never tried it, but if you do it and you find it is under powered than you will have to sell it and may lose money in the process. I guess it depends what level of performance you are ok with...

I run a 2000kv aveox motor that should be almost identical to a 1512 neu. My revo has the full tekno kit and I run 5s lipo. Gearing is 15/40, and I have the wide ratio gearset. Truck does almost 45mph, and has tons of power. I do have 2 clip on heatsinks, and temps are fine.

If you will lock it in second, and use motor brake the 1515 will be needed. With the 2 speed and gearing for around 40mph and mech brakes a 1512 (1800-2000kv ) on 5-6s should be fine. For 4s running you will need some really good lipos, and lower gearing with the 3000kv motor.

well i have the 7xl in there now, its got some good torque for it, but i have 8000ah batts, im afraid summer hits im not gonna be able to keep the gearing, i might not be able to get the full packs through

yea its locked into second now, my cells are true rc 8000 2s2p's good for 120 cont

yea a guy was selling one with a new cc ubec which i need for my buggy for 200 shipped, if it will do me no better than an 8xl than its not worht it to me

I wouldnt consider TrueRc packs GOOD cells they are ok, they are 10c packs good for the money, I consider any Enerland based cell to be good, I have heard Zippy cells are great for the money the same price as TrueRc, just below the Enerlands..you might be disappointed with the starting performance with the 1512 motor...the deal you are getting on this motor I wouldnt pay more than $125 for it

the going rate for a smooth can 1512 is $225

ok well you pretty much made up my mind, the packs i have are 15c btw, and i have a 4s zippy pack coming for my eight, i still could get the 1515 1y/f whats the kv on that?

it was a finned can, dunno the diff?

its 2200kv...here is a chart of KV Values that Neu motors have

that would do awesome in the revo, i can get the dust cover and connectors for 255 shipped brand new!

its not that much dollar wise $10-15, and with a NEU you wont need the extra cooling the finned can gives, I have a smooth can , and I live in Arizona where the temps will be at least 100 degs for about 4 months a year...thats a major reason I am going with the Neu

And for the times that you want things to be out of control you could go with a 5s pack but that would require a different ESC. DickyT has a thread where he had a 5s for his 1515/1y Revo and he thought it was too much power

all better when the mmm comes out, and no dicky has not had good luck with the mm and 4s
