I think Patrick said Y winds only not "1Y only," the reason being that the magnet would be optimized for the Y wind instead of a compromise of both Y and D like the neus. A 1.5Y 1512 sized motor would be 1900 kv just like the tekin T8 4030 1.5Y, so I can't see why that can't be done. That would be perfect on 6s bashing, and 4s/5s racing, better than a 1y on 4s and 3s. I already consistantly get the mmm fan on in less than 5 minutes with my driving. I'm guessing there is some sort of delay anyway since I haven't even heard of any updates of the 1800 and 1500 kv long can motors for quite some time. I would expect a low kv short can motor to be a ways off.

That's exactly right -- the magnets are optimized for a Y wind. That's why we don't offer a D wind.

Very nice, thanks Mr C!

3/4mm holes would be a smart move too...

I would also like to see 4mm mount holes, both in 25mm circle and 30mm circle. With the CC/Neu motors it would be as simple as offering different front plates that can be swapped out by the end user. I personally think that M3 thread bolts are a bit small to hold up the large brushless motors.

4mm would be awesome for sure. Especially on the 1515 and up series motors.

Patrick, what kind of pricing is expected on the 1518 series versus the 1515 series?

Not much price increase over the 1515-- I don't know for sure yet, but I'd guess the 1518 will be about $15.00 more than the 1515.

Great! I will be putting one of those in my LST2 for sure and the 2200 1515 back in the revo, or something else.

Nice! And the 1518's are coming with 5mm shafts correct?

This may be the perfect candidate for the LST2 when it finally gets converted.

Yes, all of the 15 series motors will have 5mm shafts.
