Talk 1520 - your experiences

Just wait till you put 6s on it. The term potent comes to mind!!!

I have 3 of these motors, and 3 of the 1717 motors. Not sure what to do with them, but it will be fun!

Hey Linc, I try 6s soon enough, but I'm sure I won't need it... this thing is loads of fun on 5s already... but I'll give it a go..

I have the 1520 in my RC8T FT running on 5S with 15/52 gearing. It isn't all that fast but it's all that my local track can handle. Heat? What heat? Everything is almost ambient. I don't even run a fan on my MMM since I broke the last one. Great motor.

Also tried it with 20/52 on 6S and it was just insane (This time I used a MMM that had a fan) and it was just great. Wheelies and front tires ballooning like crazy. No real heat on the 1520 to speak of. Say about 100-110F maybe but the ESC was a little warmer than I like to see it.

All in all this has to the best $65 that I have ever spent.

Yeah... the motor seemes to like the higher load setups as the temps were quite good through the run... If I get the chance... i'll do some temp checks and post up the numbers tonight...
not sure how long the tyres will last with the punishment they are receiving though ...
