I like the lmt motors alot. The neus are nice as well. I have seen some differences between the 4 pole and 2 pole motors in smoothness.

Hey CHC, what esc are you running the neu's with?

If you are planning on running 16 cells on an alloyed out Maxx, I'm not convinced tha tthe MM is the right choice. I think the MM will do nicely in a 8.5lb buggy that is intended to be geared for under 40 for the track, but the bigger/heavier vehicle will draw more amps. The last thing you want is a ESC that is running ragged edge. IMO 16 cells in a maxx size vehicle is ragged edge for the MM. With the little testing I did with the MM I'm not all that thrilled with it as a large scale ESC. DOnt get me wrong...Its amazing that it can do what it does, but I still think you are better off with a speedo that was intended for the job. Read the thread that Brian linked to about what I saw on the MM/Neu combo.

Think about your options for the $ you have to spend.

You could go with the cheaper motor and take the extra $190 from the motor and spend and extra $140 and upgrade the MM to a Quark. Then later when you want to you can upgrade to any motor you want. The quark will run them all and its is still the smoothest esc Ive used. And your still $50 ahaed of the Mamba/Neu combo.

Another thing to consider might be... Right now for like $15 dollars more than the Neu 1515/Mamba combo you could get a Lehner 1940 and Warrior 9920 combo. This would be a killer combo in an emaxx. Heck with the 9920 being only $150 right now, once they go back to regular price($200) you could probably get your $150 back for it by selling it ''gentley'' used on ebay. And then get the MMM when it comes out.

EDIT: Sorry for the book....But you asked.:018:

As do I...

Just an FYI... Total coincidence but I toasted my Mamaba Maxx on 5s tonight. First pull of the throttle on a fully charged 5s pack running a Neu 1515. It was just a light easy start not even a hard throttle pull. Its just not cut out to be reliable on that kind of voltage.

Now I really wouldnt recomend the MM for a 16 cell application. 16 cell is even higher voltage than 5s.

At this moment. It is on a 8lb gmaxx with 3.3 stuff on it. Gearing is 14 52 gearing
with stock diffs. I did put an aluminum diff cup in. I run 4s lipo on it.
I had the same set up on a heavier gmaxx with big joes all aluminum
top in at 12lbs. I ran that on 6s with 14 52 gearing. It was alot faster
and had more power. It was just hard to get started on first hook up.
I get more run time now. 8000 and 6000 mah 4s verse 3800 6s .
I have got 45 to 60 mins on 8000 mah batts.
