Neu 1512, 1.5d (3300Kv) on 4s in crt.5
 

I want to make a killer bashing crt.5 and i have a Neu 1512, 1.5d, a MMM V3 on the way:whistle:, and presently, i have a TP 5000, 3s, but i want to go with 4s.

Do you think that this motor will do the job just fine on 4s or should i stay with 3s and put a bigger pinion???

I know that this motor pull alot of amps (135A) so i consider that run it on 4s will lower the temps and give me longer run time???

But i have a Neu 1509, 2.5d (2700Kv) too, maybe i'am better to put this 1509 on 4s in the little crt.5 and keep the 1512 on 3s in my slash:neutral:??

Don't know what to do:oh:

Thank you!

i think either will be fine - i'm not sure you will actually get that current as the motor is not going to be stressed in a crt.5.

My 3300 kv 50mm medusa runs fine on 2-4s...

That's exactly what i'am think.
The crt.5 is under 5 lbs i think so this motor will have less load than on a truggy.

Thank you!

I'm using a 1509 1.5Y in my CRT.5 and I can't keep the front wheels on the ground, I don't see any reason for a bigger motor.

On 2s, 3s or 4s??

That 1512/1.5d is going to be one beast of a motor in a crt.5 :tongue: Its a beast in a 1/8 buggy on 4s. Edumakated had his 1/8 buggy up to almost 70 mph on the 1512/1.5D and 4s.

You might want to make sure you have planty of tires on hand when you run it. I suspect you will be blowing them off the rims with very little effort.:yes:

I like to ear this:yipi::yes::yes::yes:

i run the 1512 1.5D Neu on 4s in my losi 8 and the thing flies and i get 30 minute run times. i highly recommend this setup.:yipi: in a crt.5 it will really fly cuz it will be a lot lighter than my bugggy.

Good!! Hey Ryu James, which 4s lipo do you have???
I have Thunder Power since last year and i like this pack, but with the price of the Ziippy-R pack at UnitedHobby, i want to try this pack.

I too think that is too much motor for the .5. I had a 3100kv little LMT 1920 on 4S that could do over 60, and barely keep the front down most of the way. See the Utube vid in my sig to see. I detuned to a 2200kv 50mm medusa and its still a wheelie monster if I load it enough.
That 1512 may be about undrivable in a .5.

I think that i will try my Neu 1512, 3300Kv on 3s and see the performance and run time. i have an eagle tree so i will be able to monitor the amps drawn by the motor, and if it pull too much amps and the run time is too short for my taste, i will order a 4s pack.

I have my 1509 2700Kv on 3s in my slash and this little motor put alot of power in the slash and i think that the crt.5 is about the same weight than a slash.
My slash is 6.1lbs now, with the FLM tranny case, Koolflight UBEC, badlands tires and LX one shock.

i had the new Losi 4s hardcase pack but now have the thunder power extreme V2 and it is way faster than the losi pack. i highly recommend it!!

I run Thunder Power extreme V2, 5000mAh, 3s in my slash and love this pack too:yes:

I think you really have to be insane to put a 1512 1.5D in a Crt .5, unless you are trying for the "fastest crt. .5." So I think you are better off with your 1509. It just doesn't make sense to take a car with a smaller footprint than a 1/10 st and have it be heavier and twice as powerful as a 1/10 st.

I had a crt.5 with a 1512/1.5d and ran 4s and it was simply awesome.Never got hot and it shredded tires highly recomended.

That motor is too much in a 1/8 buggy. So I can't see how you are going to get your CRT's full potential. I think you would be better off with a 1509. Maybe run the 3300kv 1509 or the 4500kv one. You will get longer run times too.

One of these days I was going to do a crt .5 or the hyper version with the 1509. I want it to hit about 75-80 mph.

This is exactly for this reason i want his setup, never got hot!
I don't want to do 100m/h, and i don't want to have an incontrolable crt.5, i just want to have cool components and long runtime. And i want to have all available power when i'll need it in a sand pit with 1/10 truck paddle tire on my crt.5:wink:

Phatmonk, what are your average runtime with your setup?? And what are the capacities of your 4s pack??

Thank's

david,
if you are really going for looong run times talk to the guys at tekno RC. they all run low KV Neu motors on 6 cell batts for looong run times, cool temps, and sufficient power. they run like a 1515 or 1512 1300-1700 KV motor with a 6 cell. personally, i dont like the extra weight/size of the 6 cell batt. plus, i am telling you, if you just go with a 4s 5000 mah on a 1512 1.5D you will get 30 mins run, temps below 150 all day, and 65 mph+ speed. you cant go wrong. another good setup i run on my truggy is a Neu 1515 1.5D with a 5s 5000 mah. results are the same. both of these setups will turn your motor at about 50k-53k rpm. the Neus are capable of 60k+ rpm. so you are still being nice to you motor but doing 60-70 mph. have fun dude!!!!

what gearing 46/?

Finally i've got a Turmoil Pro and i'll put my 1512, 1.5d in it, on 4 or 5s, don't know yet.:whistle:
And for my crt.5 i've decided to put it nitro, with an OS .18TZ:oh:

did you have heat issues with the 1512/1.5d on 4s in your buggy?

nope. never had any heat problems. it has been a couple of weeks since i've run my buggy but if i recall the temps were around 120* and less all around.

you get what you pay for. instead, buy my losi 4s packs. i have 2 of them that are basically new. they go on ebay today. pm me for prices. competitive with zippy but a much better pack.

120 is amazing after 30min of run time on a track....I'm real glad to hear that because my 1.5d should be here today and I was thinking I made a mistake getting a 3300kv motor for my crt.5 on 3s and 4s geared 14/46
I may just leave my feigao 9l in in my crt.5 and put this 1.5d in my crt 1x

the crt.5 runs very sweet with the 9l....a little squrrily with the short chassis but Mikes new extended chassis should cure that


think the 1.5d would push my x1 without issues on 4s?

it will push it no problems whatsoever. i have used mine in my losi 8t without any troubles but i upgraded to the 1515 1.5d on 5s and that is BADASS!! seems faster than the 1512 on 4s. but regardless, the 1512 will push your x1 easily. you wont be disappointed. and the crt will be sweet too. probably better for the crt. 14/46 should be good for the gearing too. i ran 13/48 in the buggy and 15/48 in the truggy. both stay cool and are fast as hell.
