Firstly Linc,
Im running an ofna 6 spider centre diff with 47t spur. Currently the smallest pinion i can fit is a 12t pinion, maybe an 11t just about. But if using the 1520 i NEED to use a 10t at most!
This means i would need to make alterations to my custom motor spacer. Not much work needed, but it is required to fit a 10t pinion.
If i ran my maxx sized badlands, i could theortically run a 12t-13t which wouldnt give me any of my current problems.
Brian - i know my method of choosing voltage over motor etc... is not correct. But i am determined to run 9+ cells of lipos. If a new motor is necessary, then so be it.
Imo i think 9s is too much and 8s would be ideal on a 1520... But, in short... I would prefer to push this motor to its limit and see what it can really do (i have second one as back up anyway :) )
I do think a 1717 would be an ideal motor for me... but as said previously... shame it is not capable of handling more cells...
Put it this way... i have been trying to do something different to most here in the UK... everyone now has a 1717 or a 1520 running on 6s or 8s thanks to the new MMXL.... but no one is running anything bigger... So this is my pursuit... I have spent a lot of money on this build so far, and would like to keep it a different. I WISH I COULD GET THE 1527, but that isnt possible just yet...
The 5682 would be ideal for the price... and i doubt i would stress it much as it was build for heavier applications... BUT if it is the same size as a 2028 motor for a baja... then i doubt it will fit in my chassis, let alone work with my current motor mount which i had custom built.....
