Neu 1515 1y or 2.5d on 5s ? & ESC advice, pure basher.....

[Mofomaxx]

Opinion please guys, im rounding up the parts i need for a Truggy conversion, undecided which truggy yet, heavily leaning towards the Xray though, anyway in the meantime im rattling together all the elecs & i'd value a bit of input from you guys......

This truggy is NEVER gonna race, its gonna be setup as a multi-surface extreme bash truck, fair mix of grass & parking lot running with top speed runs, donughts & general marlarkying about is the order of the day.....

I know conventional wisdom dictates on 4s you run the 1515 1y & on 5s you run the 1515 2.5d, but iv seen a few vids & the 2.5d on 5s seems to have LOADS of torque, iv seen this setup on youtube pulling wheelies in an LSP, so im wondering if the 1y on 5s maybe the way to go for my needs ? my basic logic (which may be wrong !) suggests that this setup will obviousluy have more top end since it's a higher KV motor but shouldn't suffer much on the low end, is that a fair assumption or is their anything im missing ?

Quick word on ESC's aswell, im looking at using the MMM, but the "MGM Compro 160 amp, 18 cell brushless car controller" also caught my eye (i want a traditional hardcased esc).... on paper they look fairly similar as far as both run 6s, BEC, general features, usb programming, etc but the MGM is £50 more, so what if any are the benefits of the MGM over the MMM ?

Cheers all
