OK, I dont want to create a new thread so I am writing here. I have an 1515 2200kv in my emaxx. I calculated that that speed vith my 17t pinion is 53 mph and if would have 1518 1800kv I would need 20t pinion to reach the same speed but with higher gearing I reduce runtime, increase heat on the motor and I think acceleration would be about the same because of the pinion. So can someone tell me why would 1518 be better?
Not knowing your entire set up the 1518 would be better than the 2200 on 6s because the RPMs will be way lower and generate less heat and that eqauls more efficiency.
I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

Reason: typo, you'd think I'd know how to spell efficiency ??
I ordered yesterday, but still don't have confirmation e mail about my credit card charging and order process )-:
I hope they will reserve the motors while still in payment process.
I really want to try the 1520 on my XT8 and the 1518 on my 808 (both of them have the 2200 now)

Their just waiting to see what the limit is on your card so they can send a extra motor to all of us ?

So I had to buy a 1520. I am broke as hell but still cant pass that up! LOL
SOO 1520 owners, even 1518 owners. do the 3mm front screws cut it? or should they be tapped to 4mm? Its just that I was worried with my 70mm Medusa and now the 1520 is 89mm long...
Another Note to Castle: I had put on in my cart at work and chose Priority and it was ~$5.00 now at home Priority is $9.95? WTF?
