1521 vs. 1527

[aqwut]

How are you liking that 1527 Lutach... Did Mike order that for you?.. I'm looking for 2x 1527/2.5D.

I got it a while ago and haven't used it yet. The 1521 is already breaking stuff and I can't go with much more power. I already have a good stock of Universal Joints and I just need to get are some 43T Spiral Conical Gear, 10T Spiral Bevel Gear and Hard Steel Differential Gear Set, because I know they will go as soon as I get back to speed runs .

TWO!! what are you going to be running those in?

How would a 1527/1D (2300kv) on 6s compare to that dual Pletty setup of hcr21, oh sorry, plettenbergs My drivetrain setup is pretty much the same to that, so i guess the weakest link would be the output shaft.

A 1515 will do you good, a 1521 will make you stock up of a few drive train parts and the 1527 might not be too fun if the drive train will not handle it, pls you will have to get a rock solid high AMP controller and some very, very good lipos to handle the kind of AMP the 1527/1D will pull. My 1521/1Y has pulled a max of 169A and the 1527/1D will go over that with no problem. This is the only reason why I still haven't put the 1527/1.5Y in my truck. I might go with one of my Aveox that is the same size as a Neu 1515 just to spare my drive train.

ahhh... hi AMP, so i guess that rules out the Phoenix ESC's. I think they're only rated upto 140 amp bursts (Phoenix-110) That MGM you linked to would do the job.

yes, the drivetrain would be the problem, especially on a maxx, i'm thinking the slipper and the input/output shafts would be the hardest hit. What parts are you breaking with the 1521 Lutach?

Are Flightpower cells the same as NeuEnergy cells, both Enerland??

Thanks for the input Lutach, really appreciate it!!

So far I have gone through a couple spur gears and internal diff gears (spider gears). I will soon have to get diff ring and pinion. I have to see if Bomb-Proof Products still have center drive shafts for my truck and will also have to get more drive cups. If you get the 1527/1D, go with the MGM 22418 and the highest capacity 30C Enerland cells (Yes, Flightpower or NeuEnergy) and it would be nice to get them 2 packs in parallel. I think 4S will be a better choice for the 1527/1D, 5S will be insane and 6S will make your bank account go empty from buying parts for your truck .

what diffs are you running at the moment in your truck Lutach, please don't say 8 spiders Yeh, the drive cups would get pretty ripped up as well wouldn't they with that kind of torque.

Stepping down to 5s might also be an option if i was to go the 1527...

As if my bank account won't already be empty from even getting this setup!!!

thanks alot

I had the Hot Bodies Buggy diffs in the truck, but I bought some aluminum diff case and I put the truggy diffs back in and no they are not the 8 gear spiders. My drive cups are a mess and I'm going to run a few more times before I change them.
