nms · **wich is the better motor -** 01.23.2011, 07:54 AM

hello ppl

i'm about to buy one of yhis motors

Neu-Castle 1518 1Y 1800kv motor

Neu-Castle 1520 1Y 1600kv motor

dude said me one time they are nice to MGT.

for your experiencien does any of this is more compatible with mgt because of the torque??? or both are really good??? i can run fast i make some horses with my mgt with both motors?????

sorry if i'm bugging you ppl.

and sorry for my english, it's not my official language.

DrKnow65 · 01.23.2011, 12:41 PM

nms, either one would be fast, the 1518 does well with both 6S and is pushing max limits on 8S, where the 1520 really shines on 8S and is very comfortable on 6S.

Bigger is better so I'd go with the 1520 if price is not an issue.
Not sure if you can still get $75 1518's on the Castle Creations "moving sale"?

nms · 01.23.2011, 01:16 PM

the 1520 is better? but only have 1600kv and the other have 1800kv.

that doesn't make difference in the speed? sorry my ignorant questions.

it's better use 2 pack's of lipo's 3S or just one 6S?

thanks

If you were planning on using 6s lipo, then the 1518 would be my choice.

2x 3s or 1x 6s doesnt really matter- which ever setup is easier to fit on the chassis..

The Dude · 01.24.2011, 03:02 AM

2X3S for a good weight repartition and a 1518 , this is my current setup
I sell the 1520, not a huge difference but less wheel speed..

nms · 01.24.2011, 10:11 AM

thanks for opinions but i'm think it's too late. 5 min before suicideneil repons to my question i order a 1520 1600 kv in ebay.

what i want was the 1518 but i coulsn't find it anywhere so i don't hava another option.

let's hope that don't stay much bad. maybe later i find the 1518 and replca de 1520.

thanks

about the center diff any one now if the Slipperential™ 1/8 Center Slipper Diff sold but rc-monster is good or there is another one better and more cheap???

Kcaz25 · 01.24.2011, 04:44 PM

There is only one Slipperential. Its RC-Monster's crowning achievement you might say.

suicideneil · 01.24.2011, 08:22 PM

Any other slipperentials you might find are cheap nasty copies- thats what the notice on the rc-monster online shop is about.

Scott_T · 01.24.2011, 08:52 PM

OK, I have to come clean....It's embarrasing, but I have never even seen a center diff....It just sounds like, and I understand front and rear diffs, the way to go from my reading...

But in a Emgt conversion, I do not understand WHICH center diff to use. I will like to buy the frenchman's mount, but have no clue if ANY center diff will fit/work. My thought is the most widely available and easy to find and durable is best. I have heard the one from a losi 8ight is good choice.

But then I have to ask, how does braking work...I have read(internet commando aparently) that using the motor itself to brake is tough on the ESC.....I think that is what my Stampedes do?

Thanks,
ST

Hi
a good news, I've found my spider center diff, so I call my friend today for giving the dimensions
the spider use a 52T spur gear so you need to grind a little your chassis.

more update soon

Any & all electric r/cs use motor braking- the esc essentially shorts out a couple phases an slows the motor down to a halt- how hard you hit the brakes determines how quickly the motor slow down. For most normal r/cs this is fine and isnt detrimental to the motor or esc really; when you have a very large, fast or heavy r/c, then it is perhaps better to use mechanical brakes- such as with 1/5 scale trucks or cars. I think the MGT will be fine with normal motor brakes, the MMM is a tough esc.
