OK, jhautz You pushed me over the edge. I solemnly swear to order the 1512. Now do I get the 1900kv or the 2000kv? I wonder why they make such seemingly similar motors? I can't fine it on Nue's site but on DMA's site they rate the 1512/1.5Y 90+ efficiency and the 1512/2.5D at 86+. I'm leaning towards the 1512/1.5Y just because of that. Any reason not to go with that one? Anybody know the differences?
It weighs 8lbs 7oz RTR with Transponder.
The battery mount is working fine. I first ran it directly on the bare chassis but it was getting small pieces of gravel under the battery and leaving small dimples. I have since padded the whole bottom and sides with that thin craft foam and not a single issue. It fits nice and snug. I have ran it very hard with many high flat landed jumps, coming up short jumps and you name it.
You wanna know the funny thing? This is my first 1/8 buggy and I never even ran a nitro motor on it. I am impressed with the durability of these things. I'm used to the XX-4. You sneeze on one of those and it's broke. Don't get me wrong, I love my Losi but compared to the 1/8 stuff it is "HANDLE WITH CARE".
