Hey guys, im looking for your opinions on motor selection for a hyper sc10. It will have a mamba max pro and 3s LiFe providing power. My goal is to have a cool setup and good runtime (15-20min per battery) on a large 1/8 track in the summer. I have a vxl motor and was thinking about a novak hv5.5, but since the mmp is on b.o., i have some time and value your opinions. Thanks
I say the hv 5.5 would do great, not that there is anything wrong with the Neu's. But why not Take advantage of the sensored esc, and they cost 1/3 as much.

I'll second that. I'm running a HV7.5 on 3S with a Havoc 3S. Truck is fast, motor barely warm, ESC cool.
i have plans for my slash...
even cooler temperature setup than this (so that means it's gonna be like anti hot? since ^ setup is already cool?)
i hope no one beats me to it...... they said i was mad...but i'll show them, i'll show them ALL MWAWAWAWAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
E-revo 3.3 conversion, 249kv outrunner, 6s, MMM
the porthole from the noob world an here has been opened!! that's how i got in.

My vote is for a 1509 w/the kv depending on set up. I have a 1509 3300kv running in my crt.5 on 3s and it is perfect
1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S
is the differance between the 1409 and 1509, other than size, torque? am i correct in thinking the 1509 has more torque?
1400 shares the same rotor as the 1500 series but has a diameter that is just over 36mm. power output would be marginal ,you won't notice the difference
That's not even 20k rpm on 3s. If you gear high enough to have decent speed, you might get cogging on startup as the ESC tries to find rotor position. A sensored system would tolerate this better. I would get a motor with a kv of ~3000 (for 3s) or 4500 (for 2s). Low kv isn't always best - it's about matching the kv with the voltage.
