It seems like a lot of people bought the 1717 for the Muggy and the LST. But I'd like to know if the castle neu 1520 on 6s will have enough power for a LST XXL geared for 50mph (with ballooning). The LST XXL has smaller (5.7" diameter) and lighter(235grams) tires than a stock LST XXL.
I have a 1520 coming for my truggy...should lots o fun!
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
I have used both the CC1520/1600kv and the CC1717/1580kv in my Savage-X-17 on 6s, The weather here and some bad luck bugs has limited my trigger time. Both of the motors have ran awesome.
Well, not sure if they are comparable, but my neu 1521 1y does just fine in both the lst and the muggy. I am geared for mid 40s and see no reason that I could not gear up. I only bought the 1717 for the 6x6 lst, had I wanted another normal motor I would have gone with the 1520 1y. But I already have 2 1521 1y motors (one each for the lst and muggy) so I am not really in need of anything for them. Now my 1/6 scale lst/muggy/eight based buggy will need something potent. I figured hv for that, 1521 2y on 10s with a ? (lutach) esc...
Thanks Guys. I started this thread for the new owner of my LST XXL. He wanted to put a ccneu 2200kv in it, and I told him I wasn't sure that motor would have enough power for the XXL and to take a look at the larger cc-neu motors.
The CC 2200 works fine in mine but I am geared for just under 50 and try not to push it. I think with the XXL the 1520 is a better choice to keep temps happy.
