Looking for a motor!!!
 

OK I have an E-REVO and I just got my V2 MMM back on Thursday but I have no motor. I have searchrd everywhere I know of and can't find what I want. I know it will prolly be awhile before CC releases their motors and I don't want another Feigao motor. Does anyone here have or know where I can get a 1515 1y tekno neu? Or a 36-60-2000 Medusa? I would prefer the tekno neu but love the power of the 36-50-4800 on my crt.5 and the price of the medusa is alot easier to swallow. If anyone has one of these new or used and would be willing to part with it please pm me with a price. Or if you know of somewhere that has either in stock post a link. For know I'm stuck with the stock titans as I don't want to shell out another $75 for a feigao that I'm going to have to replace. So I guess if someone has a 9xl that they'd sell cheap I would consider it. Thanks for the help.

I bought the Medusa directly from their website.

It was on the backorder list but only took a week to get. Give them a call (508) 675-0200 Monday - Friday 10am to 5pm Eastern time, and see if they have them in stock or when they will get more. They are excellent to deal with very customer friendly.

tekno neu would be my choice but they're out. 70mm Medusas come out next month so I'll prolly wait for that, unless I get notification from impakt that the tekno neus are back in stock. Or if someone here has something they want to sell!

well i was going to say that i have a 1512 1.5d for you but 3300kv on 4s is a bit much, it would be ballistic tho!

Can a 1515 2.5d Tekno neu be geared for 40MPH on 4S or is that to much gear for that motor? (54/25 gearing)

i hear that 1515 1.5d is the perfect motor for 4s.

anyone else have any input on this? Lincpimp? Lutach? BrianG?

the 1y is a perfect motor for 4s, im not sure abotu the 2.5d

I have only run the 2.5d on 6s, but I would guess the perfromance w/4s would be disapointing

I really need something ASAP because I managed to fry both titans tonight at the same time. About a 7 minute run on 4S lipo in dirt and both motors where blowing smoke

if you are willing to run on 6s Impakt has some 2.5d and 3d Tekno Neus available

Speaking of motors, anyone have a 1512/2.5d they will part with? Gotta be in like-new condition though (I know; picky aren't I?)

gotta stay with 4S for now, I have 4 2S packs to run in this.

Here's one that was posted this morning. I don't know if it's still available though.

OK I have the choice of ordering a 9xl to hold me over until the cc/neu motors come out or go straight for a Tekno neu 1515 2.5d. Azjc thinks the power on 4S of the 2.5d would be disappointing though. I'm thinking that a little less power might be a good thing so that it would be a little more managable. If the neu motors are the quality and strength they have the reputation for I would hope it could pull 54/20-54/22 gearing which would give me the speed I'm after. Otherwise it's a 9xl with 62/20 gearing to get my speed, until I can get a cc 1515 1y. Thoughts?

A 1515 2.5DF on 4s is still a very powerful motor and will gear up very well...

Thanks for the input Arct1k, looks like I will be placing an order tonight!

I spoke with the guy at impaktrc and he recommended a 1512 2.5d for my e-revo 4s setup. Received it today and took it for a blast tonight.

Temp didn't break 140 on the motor after driving for 30 min straight. I'm using a mm with ccbec. I tried a 19t and a 21t. The temp difference was 7 degrees. I cannot believe this motor compaired to my 8xl. I like 21t MUCH better. It was much more driveable on the track.

Glad your happy with your 1512 2.5d but I'm going for the 1515 2.5d. The 1512 is a little smaller than the 1515 and not available in the form of a Tekno neu. Also the 1512 is a little higher kv at 2050 vs 1700. The 1512 is pretty close to an 8xl kv wise but a far superior motor, hope you also have an endbell cover to keep the dirt out of your investment. I wanted the Tekno neu because it is sealel and designed for land use, I did order the 1515 2.5d though, going to gear it 54/20 for now as I already have those gears and if temps are ok I step the pinion up a few teeth if I want some more speed.

did you get anything yet? i have a hacker i've been trying to get rid of? its really a better 6cell motor, but i ran 4cells with it in my lsp and it did pretty well.

Ordered a tekno neu wed night. 1515 2.5d

I may order one too for my erevo, and leave the 1512 for my hyper.

ordered it on Wed, received it today! Can't wait to get home tonight and do some soldering!

On first impressions, this is one hell of a motor!!! The thing is huge, makes the titans look like the rx280 out of my mini late-model and even dwarfs an 8xl! fit in finish is top notch (had better be for the $). Looking forward to enjoying my new setup! MMM, 1515 2.5d, 4S 6A lipo, dx3r/sr3100 = fun

sounds nice ..anxious to hear how you like it

Well I ran a pack through the monsters today(MMM/1515 2.5d/f) and I'm pretty happy with it so far. Waiting on my 25t pinion from Mike so I can really see what this setup can do. Running 54/20 currently and I have to hold it WOT pretty much all the time, only geared for about 33MPH, when I get that pinion I'll have options to go from 33-43MPH as long as temps allow me. I ran for 15 minutes in tall grass, no cooling holes in body, and no extra fans. I had 157* on the motor, 121* on the MMM, and 125* on Lipos. I'm hoping I can gear this up a little more and not increase motor temp much, with higher gearing I won't be full throttle so much. The fan never had to run on the MMM and it everything was super smooth. After a minute or two of running I found that it will still hang big wheelies. This setup is much smoother than the V1 MMM/8xl that I had ran in it 2 months ago. Only complaint with the v2MMM is the switch, if there's going to be a switch I think it should have a spot to mount it on the esc, I may wind up just gluing it on there.

actually when you gear up the motor temps will go down (to a point) but the esc temp will rise, id keep an eye on thoose lipos you dont wanna see more than 130 or things could go bad.

ESC temp going up a little wouldn't be horrible, 120* is barely warm. As for the LiPos, I'm starting to understand the poor quality of MA cells, but also krepin mind that the E-REVO has sealed battery compartments for the most part

Further review of Tekno Neu 1515 2.5f/f on 4s
 

I have ran several packs so far and I'm very pleased! I still have to change the gearing, I did finally get the gear from Mike, just haven't put it in yet. Wheelies on command from a stand still, even flips over without wheelie bar. From a slow roll it will still do the same, this is with my puch control turned up to 80%!!! I have to say I think this motor is morte than adequate and def not dissappointing on 4s, I can't imagine it on 5-6s. I will post more when I re-gear it.

Further review!
 

I have now geared my 1515 2.5d Tekno Neu up. 56/25 is a bit much for this combo on 4s but temps after 5min where great. ESC 107*, motor 121*, Lipos 105*, with an ambient Temp of about 87*. However performance was poor and top speed actually seemed to suffer. I changed the gearing to 62/25 which gives me a bit more top end than the 54/20 and still has plenty of low end. This is giving me about 35MPH which is plenty to have fun with till I upgrade to 6s. Overall - Very happy with this motor, glad I didn't fall victim to another Feigao.:party:

hmmm your batteries must not be able to keep up, otherwise you should have had a rocket

I may have needed to adjust the punch control for that gearing, I currently have of set at 80%. Although they are MA packs I'm quite sure they where keeping up, 6000mah packs and barely warm. Either way for me I'm pretty happy with 35MPH. I may try regearing again and adjusting the punch. I'd also like to get the 58t spur and see how that works for me.

yea that is alot of punch control, but that should not have affected your top speed, esspecially if your geared up

I have found that disabling the punch control and using the throttle curve adjustment works well...gives you good control will still keeping the snappy performance

ive never tried that. so how do you have your throttle curve set? hows it look like

it starts in the lower left hand corner of the graph and goes laterally for a little than I start to cuve upwards slightly than its a straight line going in the direction of 2 O'clock

laterally means horizontal line correct? so you start in the lower left corner then move up like a millimeter, then horizontal line for 1/2 inch, then straight line in the direction of 2 o clock?
