Talk 1520 - your experiences

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Hi guys, as the title said, 'Talk 1520'... I wanted to start this thread with the intention of having all you CC 1520 owners converse about your experiences with it...
I wanted us to look at vehicle type (brand, make, and model), weight, cell count, gearing, ESCs (torque settings), Temps and of course application (bash or race).
Photographs and Videos of your setups will be nice...

I got mine matched up with a Quark 125B (torque is set to 'Normal 1') in my Maxx... I must say, this motor is awesome on power... the first test I did with it was on
16 NIMHs (18.5v) and trucked weighed about 12 pounds ready to run... I had it geared at 15/51 with an OFNA CD... I was not disappointed... It was the first time
I saw the truck pull the front wheels off the ground on NIHMS with the CD setup...The motor pulled the truck hard to the top of the RPMs with little effort...
it was quite a difference to my previouse motor of the same KV (hacker c50 XL).

With the amount torque the motor demonstrated, I wanted to see what kind of power I could get if I increased the gearing a little... So, I went with a 18/51 setup and 5s...
It weighed a little less than it did with NIMHs... I was surprised to see how violent this motor was even with the increased load... It could still put out lots of torque with
no worries... My Bowties did not last for more than two sets of Batteries... The temperatures were great (I think), they stayed within the 120s and rarely peaked at 130.
