Talk 1520 - your experiences

[nitrostarter]

Keep in mind, the present day 1717's are equipped with 6mm shafts. CC is in the process of changing them to 5mm at the moment.

I have only run it up and down the street a couple time so far, but its got plenty of power. Does NOT lift the front wheels off the ground, little slip on take off (dry pavement). But it does seem to run real cool so far.

3. IMO the 1717 is too big for a truggy, heck the 1520 is a bit on the large size, but, I wanted a motor that I would not have to worry about. I was running a 1515 ccneu before and that was just fine as well

Hey guys... can you post photos of your 1520 setups... it will help to illustrate a 'clearer' picture on how you have modded your trucks facilitate this monster....

Oh yah + 1 on the 0 degree timing...
