Which Neu motor with 5S and Quark 125 - RC-Monster Forums

neweuser · 05.08.2007, 03:31 PM

I run the 1515 1/y with the Quark 125. It runs way cool! I have also ran it on 5s...it was pretty crazy! The batts on the 5s got a tad on the warm side, but not bad at all. The Quark and the motor were reasonable temps as ell on the 5s, but I get way better temps on the 4s, that is for sure. If you are getting 5s, then I would most likely suggest the 2.5 for your Neu selection then.

Thanks guys. Your knowledge in this area never ceases to amaze me. I am new to the whole semi-custom monster truck hobby and appreciate your advice.

I run the 1512/2.5D (2000kv) on 5s and it runs all day no issue. I started off with a 1515/2.5D on 5s in my Revo and wound up swithing to the 1512/2.5D. I like it better for the type of running I do most of the time. The grearing needed is a little different for the 2 motors, but I can run gearing that gets me another 5pmh without thermalling over what I could get with the 1515/2.5D. Plus, overall it has a snappier feel to me, which I like. The 1515/2.5D probably has a little more low end grunt, but it really cant be used unless you have a really heavy truck. I can spin the tires or flip the truck instantly (depending on traction conditions) with either motor so extra low end is kinda useless anyway.

If I put it on the track, I run a 4s setup and it tames it out a bit and makes it a little more driveable.

Just my $0.02. I'd vote for the 1512/2.5D.

Thanks for sharing.

Has anybody ever heard of a Neu 1521-1Y (1577KV) motor?

You saw that on ebay too huh? It looks like a longer motor. If you have room to mount it you could probably make it work. It would have TONS of torque. You could probably get away with some pretty tall gearing on it. Heavy motor tough.

Yep...killer price too. I notice that Mike is out of the 1515 2.5D...I was hoping to order one this week.
