Just an update on my 1512 1.5Y.
I sent the motor out on June 5 and it was received by Neu on June 7, 2007.
I wasn't getting much information about the status of my motor, so I contacted the vendor yesterday where I got my motor and I got an email directly from Steve Neu this morning.
This is what he said,

FYI
We received the motor back here last Thursday--1 week ago--the claim that it has been 2 weeks is not correct.
The motor was tested and the kV and noload current are within spec for a 1512/1.5Y. The rotor was removed and checked along with the shaft--nothing was found to be wrong. Other than dirt in the motor it is just fine. The motor will be mailed out today. If the performance is not as expected than the likely problem is else where in the setup or the wrong spec motor was selected.
It is not really fair to accuse us of not taking care of our customers--we can and do respond to problems as fast as possible.

The only thing that I can figure is that someone fibbed about the date that they received the motor. In any case, it appears that I chose the wrong motor for the job. It figures.
So, to make it short, according to my situation, the Neu 1512 1.5Y is NOT the right tool for the job if you are looking to push a truggy around. Obviously the 1.5Y is not as similar to the 2.5D as I thought it would be. There is only a 100kv difference, but there must be other differences as well. Of course, there's always the chance that I'm just a dum a$$.
I guess I'll be looking for another motor.
