Change of plans...

just convert to brushless the easy way like i am. get a KB l or xl (if you want overkill) and the kershaw motor mount. you will either have to modify the mount yourself or have the owner of kershaw designs make you a custom one like mine. a mystery 200a esc can be had for $50 shipped on fleabay and the motor is about $50. the xl motors supposedly have more power than the CC/NEU motors.

only about $100 for the whole power system and you don't have to get the flux parts. you can use the set screw in the tranny to make the shifting point too high to reach, thus locking it into 1st gear.

Adjusting the 2nd gear shift point will not lock the tranny in 1st, it will just prevent the tranny from shifting. You will still have the OWB and will have to use mech brakes and mech reverse. Plus the flux center shaft is around 10-11 bucks shipped, not going to break the bank with that...

the xl motors are good, but not even close to the capability or efficiency of the neu

Sorry but no way does a $50 KB motor put out more power than a CC/Neu! Your motor and esc are one place you don't want to skimp out. If you spend $100 on a motor and esc I can pretty much gaurantee that you will spend money replacing them as well! Save up if you have to and get something worth having.

The KB 45 xl motors is more powerful than the 1515 sized motors, but not as efficient. The main issues with the kb45 motors are the 6mm shaft, and 30mm wide bolt spacing with m4 threads. Basically you end up making your own motor mount, and either turning the shaft down to 5mm or scaring up some 6mm bore pinions.

Great motors for the price, but they are more suited to custom builds or boats.

Ive heard the kb45 "L" series is comparable to the neu 1515's and the KB45 "XL" is comparable to the 1521. Just not as efficient.
