My truck weights 18 lbs with full gear on it and that motor never even have problem lighting up the 4 tires
on take off.
this car weighs about 26 lbs. if i throw the 1527 1.5D with two 5 cells it will probably be in the 20-25 lb range.

your setup was good for 43,000 rpm (the 1527 1D is 2300kv) which is a good setup on a single 5 cell. however, from what i understand the lower kv motor will run cooler and be more efficient. by running the 1500 kv only one 5 cell would be 27k rpm, which is too slow for my tastes. if i double that it will be in a more acceptable range of about 54k rpm. so i would still be below the 60k rpm limit.

I would love to see your LST2 though. have any pics? how does the 1527 fit?
