4s vs 5s on Neu 1512 1.5D and 1515 1.5D?

[Ryu James]

this is great! cant wait to try it! this is all very helpful. i am maybe thinking just go with 5s on my 1515 1.5D. this would be ideal setup i think. it would put the motor at 50k rpm which would be great for racing IMO.

as for the 1512 1.5D the 5s just sounds insane. according to this ( http://www.impaktrc.com/product_info...oducts_id=3076 ) it is right about 62k rpm. i am worried about pushing the limits of my $250 motor a bit but its a Neu right? it should be ok. haha. thanks for the tips guys.

so what if i gear down from a 13t pinion to a 12 tooth? how much speed will that take off the top? does it make it more torquey on the bottom?

i run the long shank pinion setups on my buggy and truggy. i am not a fan of the tekno elektri-clutch. so i have the 14t, 15t and the 17t pinions. what kind of affects would i see by changing out the pinion? how much top end increase would i see to go from the 13t to the 17t pinion? how about the 17t pinion on the 1512 1.5d with a 5s? would that break the 75mph mark? or would i just burn up my motor/esc?

nice! damn! that is sick! i have seen that video before actually in my endless hours on the web looking at RC stuff. but thanks for posting that. i just posted some pics of my truggy build. should finish thursday night and i will post a video.

hey rye james ,lookin forward to the buggy,this is joe,i posted this video of my erevo runnin 6s on a nue 15151 1y ,on two 3s 5000hv 11.1v maxamps,i gps'd it a little bit ago almost wide open at 59mph its a screamer,....ill be in touch,.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i39BByzKjuI

hmmmm odd.....what gearing was he running.....thats the same motor i had in me erevo on 6s zippy geared 24/58 with my brand new first run v3 and my v3 died.....most everyone here told me my setup was too agressive including castle

hmm, yeah. i never did put my 1515 1.5D on 6s or my 1512 1.5D on 5s. the 1515 1.5D on 5s does near 70mph in my truggy geared 15t/48t. it is insane. at 50mph it will wheely. my 1512 on 4s was fast too but not as fast. prob in the 60mph range. you probably were too aggressive. but i would be worried about the motor more than the esc. the 1515 1.5d on 6s is at about 62k rpm and the max on Neu is supposed to be 60k. i know there are guys that push the limit but i try to keep mine at 55k rpm or less. try the 1.5d on 5s. you wont be disappointed.
