Jato with Neu 1515 motor. - RC-Monster Forums

**Jato with Neu 1515 motor. -** 11.19.2007, 06:22 PM

G'Day, Just thought I might show a pic. of the Jato that I have converted to brushless.

I am runnung a Neu 1515/1D motor.
It used to have a MM 5700 motor but for some reason the magnets broke into 3 pieces.
Plently of torque with this motor I have had to lock the slipper clutch as it kept on spinning even when tightened right up.
Running metal tranny gears as the nylon one don't last 1 battery.

Very nice.

Damn! That is some serious overkill! I'd love to see it drag race a 3.3 Jato!

It will leave the 3.3 in its dust.
It has unreal take off speed.
I have got the tranny locked into second gear. ( first gear has now been removed)
I am runing a 54T Spur gear and a 33T pinion gear.

The only issue is that if you are at say 3/4 throttle then give it full throttle it will just filp over.
It may be a tad overkill but it is a real fun truck to drive plus it teaches you more about throttle controll.

I know. That's why I'd love to see it --> the look on the 3.3 driver's face

What kinda battery / ESC setup are you using? with a 1d and it doesnt look like your using much more than 3S... you'd be pulling close to like 200 + amps right?

Video please

crazyjr · 11.28.2007, 12:52 AM

I know they can be changed, but, going by the wires, i think its a mamba max. The battery looks to be a 4s 4000 or 5000 maxamps pack

The battery is only 3s 8000mah.
I have just installed a MGM 16018 controler as the Mamba maxx one was getting way too hot.

This isn't meant to me a smart ass comment (as I am prone to.. not when I'm this new to a forum tho

), but there a heaps of already electric stadium trucks getting around that would be easier to "convert" (not much of a conversion lol), so why did you choose to convert a Jato?

Because traxxas wouldn't make one electric
