I have an aftershock converted to BL. I run a hacker c50 11xl (1500kv) on 6s lipo with a MMM. I am curently using a air of polyquest 4500 30c 3s lipos in series. Those batts are rated quite high, but will still get warm with this setup. I would say that a set of 5000mah 25c 3s lipos would be the minimum, and if I were to buy lipos again I would buy the polyquest 6000 25c 3s lipos. Unless you go with a large capacity pack, like a true rc 6s 8000 15c pack, the 15c-20c packs will not keep up.

If you want to run the 1.5d stick to 4s, and you will need very good lipos. The polyquest 6000 25c lipos would be the best bet for a 4s pack. I would sell the motor and get the 2.5d and go 6s, that will yeild the best results with that heavy truck.

well i do have a gorilla max revo conersion that i run a mamba max on 4s with a f/7xl i suppose i could put the 1515/1.5d motor in that truck i may need to get a mamba monster for that though

i will look into geting the 1y or the 2.5d ill see if mike has any in stock
cheers for the advice buddy............................................. ....................

The MM should be ok with the 1.5d. Just run an external ubec and a fan on the esc. Maybe add another capacitor. It will pull about the same amps as the 7xl. Plus the neu will be more effecient, and use lower gearing than the 7xl for the same speed, the neu has a higher kv, 2700 vs 2300 on the 7xl. It may even pull less than the 7xl, maybe?!!?

that sounds good dont really want to spend more on another esc

what type of cap would i need to use on the m/max i dont no nothing about these but i no you put them on the main power wires
i wouldnt no where i could find one either im over in the uk

i do use a ubec on the max all ready got this from mike
do the small 25mm fans really help keep it cooler or shoul i go bigger like a 40 mm fan

I didnt have good luck with the MM and 1.5d, I used a MM/1Y in my 10lb 8T and temps were always 140 maximum on MM 135 on 1y geared 17/48. The 1.5d made the MM go to 175 after 7-10 minutes of running then I would stop as I didnt want to melt it, temps of 1.5d were 150. I used a 25mm fan on the MM and a bec, no caps. Ive heard of guys drilling holes in the MM case and using a fan on the side aswell. I just gave up and waited for MMM, figured the amps were just too high in that setup

Depends on the gearing... The novak HV cap that is sold seperately works well .
