so hows a neu 1515 1y/f gonna do
 

in my losi 8ight on 4s with the mm controller, or in my revo, i can get one for 255 shipped with bullets and dust cover

Thats what I was looking at getting for my 8ight Truggy.. Is it the one on RCtech ?

yes dunno if i want to dump the money tho

If you 8ight is a buggy you may want to get the 1512/2.5D as its less weight and less $$$. In a Truggy the you would most likely want the larger 1515/xx motor.

Just my 2 cents....

i am waiting to see what castle releases with the monster max.. supposed to be similiar

I was thinking the same thing, escpecially if it will be in a racing application

whats the difference between 1512 2.5d and 1.5d?

speed of the motor
1.5d- 3300kv
2.5d- 2050kv

RPM per Volt or KV....

1512/1.5D 3300 KV
1512/2.5D 2050 KV

not trying to hijack the thread, but I was looking at the BBY link JFruge has and the hobby store has some RC Hydros and the one they have at the top of the page was a model of the a hydro a local radio station when I lived in the Seattle area. It was known as the Miss Rock, Hydro racing is a very popular event during Seafair. The Miss Rock made news if it finished a race...it always seemed it would run into problems and would be laying dead in the water...the Miss Bud usually won every year.....man that brought back memories

so would 3000kvs be to much to run in that buggy, guy is gonna give me a great deal!

or would a 1515 2.5d be better?

you could get the 1.5d and if it becomes too out of control for your application you could gear down, in an off road appication you may never have the chance to get the buggy over 40 mph without losing control, I would get the 2.5d

well the guy is selling this one on rctech, would this do good in my revo? i got an 8xl i could do in the buggy, buy how would this fare in the revo, with mm on 4s?

are you refering to the 1515/2.5d that motor would be a bit slow with 4s I am going to run that in mine with 6s, it has a kv value of 1650, in your revo I would either run a 1515/1y(2200 KV) or a if you want more speed the 1515/1.5d (2700kv). The 1.5d it is rated @120 amps which is approaching the limit of the advertised limit of the MM, since the 1.5d is a faster motor it will pull more amps than the 1y and you will have a slightly reduced run time probubly about a total of 15mins

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

I think his bad luck started when he tried 5s with his MM and fried that, and ... than he tried a Quark 125b...fried that... that I have heard horror stories from other people that they say you need a heat sink to use and now it seems like they have closed up shop in the U.S.

I realize I'm behind the curve on a timely response but my $.02 might be worth a nickel in this situation. I've run a 1515/1y/f in an 8T, an 8ight, and now a Revo. For racing, it is Perfect in the Truggy and Overkill/Overwieght in the buggy. As far as the Revo goes, tough call but if I was going to continue to race it I would probably drop down to a 1512; My Revo wieghs in @ 10.24lbs with the 1515 and a 20c, 5000 pack.
