what's the difference?

[DwightSchrute]

i'm currently runing an 8ight on 6S 30C geared 43/25 with a neu 1515 1Y with an MMM.

i freakin' love the speed. it's unreal. my question is i've figured out how to put manual brakes on it with the rcm mount so now i can run an hv-110 esc up to 10S.

my question is this....

if i do the math, i come very close to the max rpm set on my neu motor the way it is now.

2100 x 25.26v (4.21x6S)= 55,572

so if i get a 1515 1.5Y (1500kv) and run 9S on it i get 56,835.

both ways still get basically the same speed, right?

is there an effeciency advantage in heat?

i'm kinda wondering why i did all this modding if i get the same results as running 6S as to 9S when the motor limits are the motor's REAL rpm limits. can someone lend me an opinion on this?


my other question is.....maybe the smarter question is.... can i run a 1521 in an 8ight?

i once asked this and it was a split opinion. some say the 1521 fits standard motor mounts, but then offshore says this..."Motor hole spacing is 1", most 540 mounts will have to be modified to fit this motor. "

does anyone have a 1521 they can bolt up to a standard mount?

some might ask..."why?" i like speed and i have virtually no racing within an hour of me.


any help is greatly appreciated.
