Pinion link goes straight to rc-monster. Now that is cool.

Mike better get busy making more pinions then.... :mdr:

I can't believe they're really pushing the 1515 1Y for use on 6S and a 1512 1Y for 4S.

25V:party:

7*3.7= 25.9V
8*3.3= 26.4V

Why is that? The 1512 1y (kv=2750) on 4s is ~41krpm, and the 1515 1Y (kv=2200) is ~32krpm. I would even go up to 5s on each as long as it is geared right...

Don't forget that lipos are 4.2v/cell, or 29.4v on 7s - and A123s are 3.6v/cell or 28.8v on 8s. Some components may not like that even though the voltage will drop fairly quickly.

that is very cool. :yes:
does the esc come with the castle link or do we have to buy that separately? Just want to make sure I have everything I will need.

Umm, Brian, 6S on the 1515 1Y is what they recommend...not 4S. That's 48.8k RPM.

Oops, I guess I missed that. :oops:

VERY tempted but I'm NOT going to do it... I will order from a distributer...

Also, it would have been nice had they clarified that it's ok to use less than 6S on a 1515/1Y and that the 1512/1Y may not be a good choice for a 1/8th scale truggy. Here's their misleading text:

NEU 1515 1 Y for 6S 1/8th scale and 6S MONSTER TRUCKS
NEU 1512 1 Y for 1/8th scale conversions on 4S max

I will wait for you guys to give tests results :lol:.

I will wait as well. Not with lutach though, unless he wears his dress...

Plus I will get a few from Mike, no need to buy one right now, half off my rc collection is in pieces being re-vamped.

If I go over your place, I'll be bringing some strong sleeping pill for you my friend. Just don't come chasing me when all of your R/Cs are gone :lol:.
