Well I got the proper motor plate and installed it. My LHS had to order me the correct cover though.

Unfortunately I foolishly used too much loctite when installed the pinion gear so I can't get the set screw out. I was able to get the Pinion off by heating it up and prying it off so I just need to go get a new pinion gear. I'll be doing that Tuesday so hopefully I'll have my E-Revo up and running then and will report back here.

So far though, no complaints about going with the 1512 over the 1515. It is a Killer motor and very well made. (I was amazed to see that the build date on the motor was less than two weeks before I received it.) No heat issues either.
