Something really seems wrong to me with all of this. I have 2 of the 1512/2.5D motors and they absolutely rip. On 5s they are silly fast and the torque and acceleration is way more than the tires can put to the ground. If I punched it from a rolling start it would instantly flip or break all 4 tires loose. I also have a 9xl and a 8xl. The power (acceleration and speed) is almost not distinguishable between the Neu 1512/2.5D and the 8xl. Its just that the Neu can run an entire 8000mah pack without overheating and the 8XL needs a break after 5 minutes. One of the 1512/2.5dD motors got my buggy up to 60+ MPH (gps verified) on 5s a couple weeks ago and it still had enough torque to completely smoke all 4 tires on pavement from any kind of a low speed throttle stab. I know the 1512/2.5d and the 1512/1.5Y are not the same motor, but they should be very similar.

There definitely sounds like there is something wrong. Mislabeled motor??? Bad Motor??? Bad wiring??? Try re-soldering the motor plugs on the motor and make sure you have a good connection. As Serum pointed out, with all of the trouble you are having lately it sounds to me like an Eagltree would be a very worth while investment for you. If the Neu is not delivering the power to the ground, then it should not be pulling the amps either. If it is pulling the amps and not delivering the power than you have another problem somewhere. You would easily be able to detect it with an eagletree.

Did you try swapping the 9xl back into the setup without changing anything else. Exact same setup except for the motor. If it kicks like it did before, then its the motor.

One more thought.... Are you sure you know what your doing??? All this "bad luck" just seems a little to convenient of an explanation. :005: (Kidding obviously)
