I also started racing an E-Revo this year and out of the last 6 races, I've won all but 1 at my local track running it with the Stock Titans. Amazingly both my race times and even my lap times are very comparable to my truggy times despite the E-Revo being super slow in stock trim on 4s.

That showed me first hand that often times slower is actually faster. With the E-Revo, I can put it exactly where I want. On the Truggy I'm often times hanging it out there and making up time on the straights or clearing the double-single as a huge triple.

Regardless I have begun to second guess my original idea of strapping in another 1515/1y (when I can find one!) to the E-Revo because I don't need it to be nearly as fast as my Truggy. I would like more speed but not much more...maybe 25%. So I'm wondering if anyone has used a 1515/2.5D (1700kv) on 4s...how is it? Too slow? Not the right voltage to make the motor come "alive"? Just curious. If it can work, it may be less power hungry than the 1515/1y which would be very good b/c I'd like to run some of the longer mains.

Thanks!

Gearing set identical, The 1515/2.5d (1700kv) is about the same as the titans, speed wise. I have run mine on 4,5 and 6s, 4s is tame and strong torque wise, If you like the titans, this will work for you. However you can really step the gearing up and never get it hot, good if you need a bit of speed. 5 and 6s make the 2.5 almost too strong on the track. If you like the E-revo like it is, 4s and the motor mentioned will make you happy
