Sounds like my kind of r/c...
Anyway, I have 1 neu motor ATM, a 1515 1.5d that i run on 4s in a erevo. Motor rpm is around 40k maxx. With 19/50 gearing and some taped badlands it is good for around 45mph. I think that is the best that motor will do without going over 160f. I personally think that naything heavier than that revo would require a larger motor, like a 1521...
I am also building an aftershock (lst like truck) that i plan to run 6s on. I have a hacker 11xl, but it will only spin 33k rpm on 6s. I will see how it does, but have a feeling that a 1521 1.5d (1900kv) would be a great motor to move the heavy truck around. It would spin over 40k, near 42k maxx. Or I could go with a 1521 1y (1577kv) but that would only get to around 35k max...
