I feel silly for asking this...

But if a 4082 leopard is the same size as a 1518 and smaller than a 1520. How would it be able to perform better than a 1520 on 9s?

I think i need a short explaination as to how Kv actually works... Wouldnt the smaller 4082 generate a lot of heat as it is such a small can?
Due to the length of the 1520 can, maybe it will be able to handle 9s quite well?

Thanks

Yeah, I think you're better off with the 1520 than the leopard 4082. You're trying to move a big, heavy truck - so the bigger the motor the better. The kv, to me, is secondary to the size of the motor - the right kv will allow you to use the appropriate voltage and gearing for your application.

If you can't run a larger diameter motor (like the 5682) then I think your best bet is the 1527 if it will fit.
