[ANGRY-ALIEN]

A small update... I got a little impatient, so I mounted the 1520 (firmly) and slapped together the electrics for a small test... rolled the truck around the house for a few moments
and realized that this thing needed to stretched it's 'legs'... there is a significant difference with torque in comparison to the Hacker... I saw no cogging from roll offs or while crawling...
the magnets are very strong in the CC 1520, there will be no need for 'drag brakes' (well I have no real need for it)... the moment I am off the power, the magnets will start slowing the truck.

Well, I took it out (1:00 a.m.) and did some slow rolls just too how 'smooth' the power would come on... man, this motor is impressive (it's my first 4 pole)... Oh, I know some people won't
like this, but I had no choice, so I made the test with NIMHs... I am sure they did not provide the required punch... there is no doubt that this motor has got some serious power...
grabbing the throttle can get a little violent... with the Nimh powered hacker I did not see wheelies off the line... but they were pretty much effortless with 1520... the damn even pulled
the front wheels of the ground while rolling... acceleration was sweet (gearing:15/51)... having all this fun made me forget that this was a test... so I stop to check the temps... the motor was
'cool' and Quark was just a little warmer (no heatsink and no fans). I was a little uncomfortable being outside so late... so I packed it in... I'll try again tomorrow and see if I can get some more
full throttle runs.

Just for the record I am very very happy with the CC 1520...
