The 1512 2.5D is a fantasicly powerful motor in a buggy on 5s. Actually a little more power than I want. I just set up my new 808 with the 1512/2.5D and the MMM on 5s. I was running a hacker B50 10XL (1578kv) on the R1Pro on 5s in my EC and originally just set it up in the new 808 the same way. It was a totally awesome powerfull yet very driveable setup. But I wanted to experiment a little so I tryed the Neu I had in another buggy and its a ran really nice on Tuesday night practice with the 2.5D and the R1Pro and 5s, except I at the end of the night I had the capacitor from the esc break loose and the wire shorted across the motor teminals on the R1Pro... well lets just say EVERY electronic component in the buggy fried except the motor. I mean every thing, the CC BEC, servo, reciever, fan and all.

I did get the R1Pro working again and ran another pack after changing all the other electronics out to stuff out of my EC, but after that it ran very hot so I'm not sure if the capacitor is just bad causing the esc to heat up of the esc itself was bad. So as luck would have it when I got home Wednesday night the MMM was here waiting for me. I was going to put it in my truggy, but I have the first big outdoor race of the season on Saturday night and I was going to change the capacitor on the R1Pro and put it back in the buggy but I dont want to take any chances having it overheat on me on the first race day so I tossed the MMM in the buggy untill I can get the R1Pro sorted out with more time.

I'll let you know how it does on runtime and power with this setup, but I dont expect it to be any problem at all. The 2.5D was running fabulous before the sort out. But like I said, its actually a little to powerful of a motor for my taste based on what I saw on tuesday night, but that was on the smaller indoor track still, I am going to run it like this Saturday on the bigger track and see how it goes. I may wind up selling some extra stuff to raise some funds for a 1512/3D (1700kv) depending on how this weekend goes.

EDIT: Forgot to tell you... Great choice on the 808. I freaking love this thing. Leaps and bounds better than anything else I have ever driven. This thing sets a whole new standard IMO.

BTW...Heres a couple pics of the setup.

I can't decide if its more fun to make it... or break it... Silent...But Deadly Last edited by jhautz; 05.09.2008 at 02:44 AM.
