You guys are really making me lean toward the 1512. I know that Glass likes the low kv motors, but I really don't like using the larger pinions. Those over 14T. It may just be my imagination, but it seems that motors loose some of their zip when running really large pinions, like 16T and over.

I'm really leaning toward the 1512 1900kv motor. That should put me somewhere in between an 8XL and a 7XL. I'm looking for that range because there are times when I feel that the 7XL is just too much, but when I tried the 8XL there were times when I felt that it just wasn't quite enough. Again, maybe it's just my imagination.

Now...I'm looking at the 1900 kv motor because the specs say that it's more efficient than the 2000 kv motor. Am I right? I'm figuring that the 1900 should give me better runtime with less heat at the sacrifice of a negligible amount of power. If I'm not right about this, I'll just think more of the 2000kv motor. Hey, all things being equal, I'll take all that I can get. The 2600 is just too much to even consider.

If I do wind up going with the 1515, it'll have to be the 2200 kv model. I think the 1700 kv motor will leave me wanting more.

I just realized that if the 1512 doesn't get it in my truggy, I could always just put it into my buggy and get the 1515 later.

I hate making decisions like this.
