China summary -

Factory adding capacity every day. By end of June factory should be at double April capacity.

Worked through several issues with 1515 rotor assembly and balancing. 1515 nearing production, but still some issues to work out with getting consistent quality on magnets.

1515 motors dyno'd very well, Kv at 2150 RPM / V. Ran several batteries on Emaxx with 1515/1Y (6S setup.) Found motor requires cool down between each run, maximum motor temp was around 85 degrees centigrade (29 degrees ambient) This was a VERY heavy setup with 10AH 6S battery.

Local food -- really good fish called "skinless cow fish" (direct translation) Anybody know the English translation? Ate way too much Dim Sum...

A cool down between runs isn't bad considering you were running 6S on it. I couldn't imagine being able to keep a vehicle in one piece running 6S on a 1515/1Yish for an entire battery pack, let alone multiple packs.

Oops - Cowfish seem to be an endangered animal!

Don't think it is the same fish -- what we ate was a saltwater fish, not a freshwater (river) fish...

LOL, no not one of those! :)

I think we will need someone who is Cantonese to give us an idea of what kind of fish... it doesn't translate to English.

Patric: Are you only planning on producing 1515-size motors, not any 1512-size?

1515 motors are coming first with 1512 length coming afterwards.

[ogrfre01]

Ok, so 1512-size is also planned, it is just comming later?

Yep! 1515/1Y will be the first, with Kv of about 2200
Second will be the 1512/1Y with a Kv of about 2650

Ok, thanks for the reply, that is what i was hoping for..... i probably want a 1512-sized motor, however i would like for it to be around 2000 Kv as i am driving on 4 cells..... but i guess there will be a couple of Kv-choises later on. I commend you (CC) on your work!

Hmm? I read the 1515/1Y (2200kv) would be first with a 1512/1Y (2750kv) would come afterwards. Am I incorrect? Thanks!
