Brian, believe me, when things go wrong, the first thing that I do is assume that I did something wrong and check everything. I went from the radio all the way through the esc programming; and I only run single packs. I think that dual packs are more of a headache than they're worth in a buggy/truggy. The kicker was that at the end of messing with the system, I just threw my 9XL back into the truck without changing anything and it was hauling butt.

I'm just sitting back and waiting. SNeu sounded like he was trying to get a motor off to me today, but I haven't heard back from him, so I'm hoping for tomorrow.

What's getting my goat right now is that I've been doing more research and I found several posts made by Steve Neu. In the emails that I got from him today, he's telling me that I need to up the kv to 2500 or 2600kv to get performance from the motor on 4S. That's over 36,000 rpms.

I can recall at least two posts wherein he's telling other people that the 2200kv 1515 ran great in maxxes, with what he called "silly" amounts of power; and in another post he's telling people that they should try not to exceed 30,000 rpms because losses start to increase and the motors will start to run hotter. These comments were made while discussing 1/8 scale conversions.

So, which is it? Am I supposed to go to the higher kv motor or am I supposed to stick with the lower kv motor. Of course, I know what I SHOULD have had with the 1512 1.5Y, but this contradictory information coming from the person that's supposed to know just kills me.

OK, I'm going to stop posting this stuff. People are going to start thinking that I'm crazy knocking a company like Neu motors.
