Making The Right Neu Motor Choice?

[glassdoctor]

It's taken a long time to overcome the Feigao/Hacker effect of having to run big heavy motors. We started with the big 1515.. it's the safe choice and can handle a LOT. Then we started to try the 1512s for buggy.... found out they do great. Then found out some were running the 1512 in truggies and monster trucks. Hmmm... so we started to look at the 1509 and scratch the ol head wondering if it's possible.....

I have yet to run mine, but now that I have it in my hands, I have no doubts the 1509 will do a buggy just fine. It doesn't "look" dramatically smaller than the 1512 so I feel better now, lol.

Can you say 1506 on 6s? I think that is next, believe it or not... :)

For bashers and newbies... I still tend to recommend bigger motors for more headroom... the same reason Castle went big with their 1515 size motor. I have doubts they will give in to a 1509 size. It's not "supposed" to be enough motor to handle a 1/8 car.
