Which Neu motor with 5S and Quark 125

I'm not sure, it would be too big for most tracks, but should be ok for a few speed runs. If your using buggy diffs it wouldn't be too bad, around 40mph on 4s, so it should accelerate ok. But it depends what voltage your using, what diffs, how heavy the car is and how your going to be driving it.

The motor I put the 20t pinion is the 1515 2.5D (1700kv), so a big pinion isn't as bad for it as the 2200kv. Today was the first time I used it, and I ran it on 14 cells nimh. I seemed pretty quick, but it was hard to tell exactly how good acceleration is, because it had been raining so it just spun the wheels.
I was driving it for a while (I was supprised how long it ran for), but it wasn't consistant hard driving, so I couldn't get a good idea of what temps will be like, though the quark and neu didn't go much above ambient temp.

I don't intend to run it like this though. I bought it to put in a 1/8th truggy and to run on 5s, but I haven't received the batteries yet and the mount and trays aren't finished either, I had to run it in the e-maxx though just to see what it was like, because it had been sitting in my room for the last week and half mocking me.

Thanks for all the info guys. Based on this information, I may be changing directions as to which brushless setup I am going to use. Looks like right now I may hang on to my quark 125 for a 1/8 scale brushless conversion or ebay it.

How come you want to change setup? What do you want to change to?
I think your e-maxx would work well if you went with the 1515 2.5D on 5s, and changed to buggy diffs instead of truggy diffs, and changed to strobe and 51t spur instead of 32p. Then 51/18 would give you about 34 mph, with room to gear up. That's what I would try and do anyway, if I wasn't putting the neu in a 1/8th.
