I have a 1.5D and just snagged a 1Y

i bought a 1515 1Y on saturday, and it arrived today....it wasn't a tekno, it was one of the smooth, handmade versions.

DwightSchrute · 10.01.2008, 03:00 PM

hold that last statement...i must have gotten one of the last hand made ones, cause now their out of stock.

I don't think the Tekno and the Smooth 1515 motors are any different other than bearings, finned can, and sealed ends.
If I recall, they are both Hand Wound.

They also come with 4mm bullet plugs pre-installed (except for the 1.5D), but yes, they are the exact same motors with a different can, bigger bearings, and sealed ends.

they all have 13mm bearings now (tekno, Og Smooth/f), Unless Stevie changed something on the Neus again

I'm waiting on the 2.5Ds, it's the one motor they have that isn't in stock

I already own a 1.5D, it's an incredible motor but in my Muggy it's pulling way too many amps and it's draining my lipos really fast.

I am a little scared when i read this, because i have order a 1512, 1.5d for my slash (it is light than a Muggy) and i will run it with TP 3s, 5000mAh, i hop that this motor will not pull too much amps from my pack

I wouldn't worry about it. That motor can actually move a 1/8th buggy OK with proper gearing. By my estimates, as long as your battery can put out 110 amps it'll be fine. That lipo is a 25C pack, right? If so, it should work without a problem. A 20C 5000 mAH lipo would work, but it would get strained a bit under heavy loads (proper gearing and it probably wouldn't be an issue).

Yes my Thunder Power 5000mAh pack is rated 25C and and can put out 125A continous.
This is for the run time, i think that my runtime will be cut by a good 7-8 minutes compared to my Feigao 10L.

But anyways, i have an eagle tree on order, so i will verify how much amps this motor will pull from my pack, and if my run time is too short, i will use my Neu 1509, 2700Kv to the place of the 1512. Little bit less torque, but longer run time.

And the 1512 will be for sale here

Thank you!

lincpimp · 10.03.2008, 11:57 AM

I think you will be fine David. What speed do you plan to gear for? I would say that a neu would give you better runtime than the feigao.

Plus the slash is light, and only has so much traction, so the draw will not be as much as a heavier 4wd vehicle.

10.03.2008, 02:19 PM

I'll be gear 13/56 on the 1512, 1.5d (3200Kv) on 3s for about 43m/h (on Brian calculator), with Jato 32 pitch spur and pinion and badlands tires (4.8" diameter).

it does better than move a 1/8 buggy ok. i have that motor on a Losi 8 and it flies at 50+ mph. if i gun it the thing will wheely right over. however, this is with a 4s. i use losi's new 4s battery. 25c i think. perfect combo in my opinion. max rpm with the 4s is right about 40k rpm if i recall. that motor can handle 60k rpm.

Perfect!! and i'am plan to buy a crt.5, and i'll put this motor in it on 4s too. Maybe too much power for a crt.5, but what do you want, i'am crazy

no, i think it could be awesome! i am wanting to do the same thing. i was bidding on a CRT .5 Rc Monster BL on ebay and then the seller backed out of the sell. i was bummed. he had the velineon 3s setup in it and said it was quick but i am sure it could handle a Neu/MMM setup. especially with RCMonsters extended chassis setup.
