Neu 15xx motor and stampede gearing
 

Am I the only person that can't get a decent gear combo in my stampede with a 15 series neumotor? What combos have you fellas found that actually meshed? Even a 90/14 wont touch. I figured this would be a problem. It was a finned case that I ground the fins off of half.

I take it you're using 48P gears and not M1? A 90T M1 would be huge! :yes: How close it is to meshing? What wind is your motor? You can gear those motors quite high as they have tons of torque available. Especially for a "small" MT like the Stampede.

I want to use a 15xx in my Rustler but I'm also worried about having gear ratio selections be limited by meshing ability, more so than with 540 size motors. I wouldn't use a finned Neu, but do you have any pictures of your setup?

Yes, 48p gears. It is a good .5mm to meshing, more then the tooth depth. I am using the 1506 2d.

If you only lack .5mm to meshing, why not try a larger pinion, maybe 16t or 18t?

Hey John, you need to switch over to the jato .8 mod spurs. I am assuming that you have the xl5 slipper , which will bolt right up to the jato spur. The 58t gear works well and should give you some extra room. If not a mgt 46 tooth mod1 spur can be made to work and will clear most outdrives. Do you have an 1/8 or 5mm shaft? The emaxx 32p pinions will work with the jato .8 mod spurs if using 1/8" shaft, or buy 5mm pinions from mike here at rcm.

A 1506 will turn 48P pinions into shreds in seconds...
