Which Neu Motor

In any case, I think that the truerc packs are at least good 10C packs that will do 15C bursts. If that's right, I don't see any problems running a 1700 or so kv motor on 5S with these packs. This should be a relavtively mild setup in terms of current draw.

Right now, I'm thinking I'll run my 8XL while I decide on whether to get the 1515/2.5D or the 1512/1.5Y.

I got an email from Mike and his opinion was that the 1512 will blow away an 8XL in terms of performance, but he said he'd go with the 1515. I like the performance of my Muggy on the 8XL and the 7XL. If the 1512 will surpass those, the 1515 will be overkill for me.

As it is, my truck weight just under 12lbs. With the 5S pack, it will probably go to 12lbs; but I still have some upgrading to do in terms of getting rid of some metal in favor of carbon fiber.
