More "SCT" motors

[Thomas Porfert]

It doesn't look like the 1415/.5Y Castle-Neu motor will happen. It worked well in limited beta testing, but you had to be very VERY careful with gearing. When we release stuff to the public it can't be so close to the edge that you only have 2 or 3 tooth choices on gearing.

That motor worked very well if you knew what you were doing and how to gear the vehicle; but unfortunately not everyone knows how gearing works and with stock gearing from most vehicles the motor would overheat.

thx thomas for the update

so the 1415 .5y is even more sensitive than the 1410 1Y

On my 6.6 lbs SC truck the 1410 1Y does a great job on a MMM V5 geared for 32 mph
temps are around 50-60 degrees after 15min with a 6000mAh pack

one tooth more and the temps go up to 80+ degrees

but sometimes i like to have more rpm per volt to get a better rollout
the 4800KV would give me 1.02:1
with the 1410 1Y i have 1.22:1

anyway was hoping to have one of those, but too sensitive is not good for noops

thx again

You actually need a 1415 for a 4x4 SC?!?! Why not a 1409 1.5D (4500kv)? Basically the same size of motor as the 1410. Heck, I use 1509's in my 1/8th scale buggies (lower kv of course). I even have a 1409 1.5D that I could let go of, if you are interested.

Well the only reason for the 1415 .5Y was the Y winding
I would run the motor with torque control propperly set to 5 or below
I don't need the power but I like to have a Y wind motor...

I have a local dealer in germany that does sale Neu Motors, but the 1409 1.5D is not in stock since a long time. but the price used to be great 185$ incl. shipping

PN me about the 1409 maybe we can work something out ...
How long are the cables ?
