I think maybe you misread my question: What motor mount did you use? lol, still nice to know about your motor experience though.
If you underload or unload a motor, the motor usually gets quite warm. If your motor temp was cool, it was probably a good match. I think I'll stick to at least a 1515 since I'll be gearing VERY high. The 1527 is too big IMO.
I think it was just interesting timing. I loaded the page early this morning to post the second listing and didn't get around to it until just a little while ago. When I loaded the posting, I noticed it wasn't the last one anymore, so I edited it. You just posted a reply in the time of my edit. It's all out of sync.
