The 1520 is fun as hell on 6s, but the front/upper mounting position doesn't help handling. Body roll is ok for bashing, but there's too much weight up front. Transitioning between under and over steer is not very predictable. And the stock motor wires barely make it to the esc.

Thanks for the input Overdriven.

I'm in the process of seeing what gearing is going to work for this. I just mounted the motor in the front position.

What's your gearing on 6S and how's your temps?

I wonder if this would work on 4S?

Thanks for the pics! Great!

One suggestion. If you would rotate the motor 90 degrees and bolt it back up, the motor wires would come out the side and not be so much of a target for damage.
