1515 vs 1521 in a LST???

Richard Pryor did a funny stint about these things a loooong time ago. I'm talking before Tamiya was into RC. For all the old guys in this forum, it's a "no-brainer".

Just picked up a 1521 1y for this beast. We will see how it compares to the hacker c50 11xl.

Good choice. I had the ION-X which is like a C50-13 or 15XL and the 1521/1Y is just a lot more motor then the Hacker.

I was wondering how well it would work. The 11xl has plenty of power for the setup, but runns a tad warm, getting close to 170f after 20mins or so. I was hoping that the 1521 would stay a bit cooler. Both motors have similar kv, so re-gearing will not be necessary. I always wanted an ion-x, they just look cool!

i've never seen an ion-x, anybody got a link?

Yes, the Hacker will get warmer then the Neu. The Neu will have much more torque. I ran my BPP truggy for 20 minutes doing lots of speed runs and very hard stop and go. The Neu was not even warm. I ran the ION-X on the speed runs seen in youtube and it pushed the BPP to 59mph so it's a good motor and when not doing speed runs it was just as cool as the Neu, but the ION-X was in a 10S set up.

No problem. Yes, that's my 40.160 and yes it is huge, but also it puts out huge amounts of power.
