glassdoctor,

I'm thinking the same thing. I'd rather have the reasonable pinion range, rather than having to run really small pinions to gear down (or is it up?).

Serum,

I went and checked out Virus' thread. His was heating up, but he had good batt and esc temps. Wouldn't the motor heating up like that possibly indicate undergearing? He's also running the 2600 kv, which may be too low of a wind for a truck. I'm going to be running a buggy with much smaller tires. I'm wondering what his results would have been if he had been running a 2200 kv motor with a larger pinion. It also appears that the stadium truck weighs at least 1.5 lbs more than my buggy does.

I've gotta tell ya, I really liked that performance. Wouldn't the motor's heating up indicate undergearing? I mean, if it was overgeared, wouldn't the esc have heated up and thermalled? The motor was running twice as hot as the esc. I think he was running 12/44 gearing on the truck tires. I'll be running 14/46 on buggy tires.

OK, I don't know if any correlations can be made between the specs of the Neu 1515 and the LMT 1940, or the Neu 1512 and the LMT 1930, but going by the Neu specs...the 1515 (2200 kv) is rated at a max current draw of 100A and the 1512 (2600 kv) is rated at a max current draw of 135A. BTW, I'm kind of leaning toward the Neu now because it's made in the USA. I don't like to have to do overseas warranty (or does Mike handle that?). For that matter, even if Mike does handle it, it's still overseas and could take a LONG time.

It's still a toss up between the 1515 2200 kv and the 1512 2600 kv. I just don't think that the 1512 2000 kv is going to give me what I want. I'd like the motor to at least break the 30,000 rpm barrier. Doesn't it have to in order to be in the "efficiency" zone?
