2600Kv is going the wrong way. For the life of me, I can't understand why they make a 6S capable controller, and then offer motor selections that are designed for 4S. Furthermore, does the 400Kv difference really matter to anyone? I don't think so, but that's just me.
Where's the 1700Kv motor that would make sense here? *mutter* *grumble*
The 2200 kv 1515 1Y can handle 6s, but for those of us who are sticking with 4s, 2200kv might not be enough. I already tried an 8xl with a 20 tooth pinion gear, and that allowed for just enough top end for my liking, though it was a bit overgeared as motor and esc temps climbed very rapidly.
Check out my custom converted 8ight:
Sub 7lb, lowest CG of any 1/8 buggy
Given my recent experience with the 1515 1.5d, 2700kv, it seems like the perfect 4s motor...
I run it in an erevo, with a MMM and a pair of trakpower lipos. Gearing is 17/50 and it hauls ass with great temps. I have not gone over 140f on the motor, and the MMM is a v1 so the fan is always on and it stays cool. Lipos are doing ok, even in the enclosed battery compartments.
The 2200kv motor looks good with 5s lipo, right at 50k rpm max. On 6s is it definately spinning fast, good for some great spped runs, but would be too much for a track, and probably difficult to gear down to the 40mph range with some vehicles.
An 1800kv motor would be nice for 6s... I have a hacker c50 11xl that i will run with 6s and the MMM. Should perform similar to a neu....
The 2600 is going to be perfect for those of us running a 7xl with 20t pinion and 86 spur on an emaxx. Right now I am at 37 mph looking for very low 40s. The MMM is supposed to stay stone cold on 4S, and if this motor is more efficient than the fiegao then it should be win win. Less amp draw and more speed. Lots of us have 4S setups and would have to drop a couple more bones to get 6s right now. Who says you cant run the 2600 on 5S??
