CC Motors on sale! What gearing and cell count for CC 1518 1y 1800kv

[R00ST]

def did not, thanks! Very helpful (and detailed!) calculator.


So If I want to gear for 45 on 4s I am looking at 19/36 gears
46mph on 6s comes out to 13/36 gears

Quite a jump in gearing to maintain the same mph when adding an extra 7.4v to the equation!

I was planning on running turnigy packs 3s 5000 25c
or turnigy 2s 5200 30c
or turnigy 2s 5800 25c


I am still thinking two 2s and two 3s would be the best bet. That way I can get a little higher capacity on the 2s packs for a cheaper price but then have the 3s packs for speed runs.

I have heard the 1800kv motor really puts out some torque so maybe 2x 2s would help save the poor revo diffs from turning into powder sooner than needed.

If you ever need to go back to the calculator, its the top sticky in the Brushless section.

Not sure which version of Revo you have, but keep in mind motor clearance to the tranny when selecting gears. Can get a little tricky on Traxxas rigs.

Iremember I wanted a bigger motor for my previous e-revo, but isn't there point where the motor hits the "shock-tower"?

Could a 1520 fit? Thinking of buying another e-revo.

Yes the 1518 does hit the shock mount but if you trim 3-4mm off of it it will clear it. Alternatively the Golden Horizons aluminum shock mount will fit with the 1518 with no trimming involved.
