Neu motors... can't decide which
 

I know I'll be upgrading to a Neu motor soon, probably the Tekno version, and I am having a hard time deciding which one to buy. If I get the 1515/1y, I'll keep my current battery and buy another. If I get the 1515/2.5d, I'll keep my battery and buy a 6s pack and I can run both, or I can buy a 1515/3d, sell my 4s pack and buy 1 6s pack. I think the 3d on 6s will be the most efficient, and running with a 20t pinion, I will be at about 42mph which is perfect for bashing.

But the nice thing about the 1y, is that I'll have two batteries to run... and with the 2.5d, I can run any voltage from 4s to 6s with decent speed and power.

So what do you guys think I should do? I have a MMM coming from Mike, so I don't need to worry about an ESC, just can't decide what motor out of the three.

Thanks in advance guys! :yes:

since I have the 2.5d on 6s that is what I would say to go with, I wouldnt run the 2.5d with anything less than 5s, you would be disappointed with it on 4s, I get 30 min run times with my Revo using a 5000 6s pack mostly WOT, I never use my brakes...( I view it as a sign of defeat).......lol...I have thought of trying 8s with my set up but I feel I have enough power anymore and it would be wasted...my front end will come up a bit and the front tires ballooning after about 200ft of WOT during a speed run in short grass...and sometimes I get the bug of trying 10s with the 1515/2y but I dont think it will make that much difference...I guess just being able to say I have a 10s Revo.....

Well after plugging in many values and playing with BrianG's calculator for a long time, it seems that the 1515/2.5d will be the most versatile, in terms of voltage being able to run and gearing.

Now I have to decide whether to run 5s or 6s... I can gear up to run 5s, and reach about 40 - 42mph, or gear down on 6s and reach the same 40 - 42mph. Which do you guys think will be the most efficient or the worthwhile route to take? 5s of course is nice because the battery is a good $45 cheaper than a 6s pack, and I can keep my current 4s pack and still have speeds in the low to mid 30's without changing gearing... But the power with 6s will just be amazing...

Josh,
what are running these on?? your buggy (??) your Revo, what ?.

This will be going into my Revo... I sent you a PM about your 1515/1.5y by the way. :yes:

For your Revo... GO 6sssssssssssssssssss... All the way!... I run mine all day on 6s and it's a blast, I'll let you drive it next Sunday on 6s and 8s to see the difference.. :yes:

By the way that 1515 1.5y s is perfect on 6s:whistle: :lol:

did you notice much difference running on 8s and was that with your 3d

Definitely looking forward to trying your Revo out on 8s TDC. :yes: Can't wait! :party:

Well, I guess I don't need any more help now with choosing a Neu motor since I just purchased the 1515/1.5y from TDC... should be perfect on 6s. :yes:

Edit: I can actually still be at about 38 - 40mph even on a 5s lipo with the 1.5y. :yes: I'll probably still go 6s anyway though.

well its after the fact now, but i run the 1y in my revo and i love it, havnt tried 6s but it would benuts if i did, 4s is at a perfect 42mph, and temps of 130 and lower, even in 100 degrees, hope you like the 1.5y
