My neu 1515 2.5D (1700kv) seems to work well in my e-maxx on 14 cells geared 12.5:1 :018: After a race the motor was 36 degrees C (97 F):027:
I have only used it like this a couple of times so far and I didn't expect it to work so well. Still has good accleleration, low motor temps, lower esc temps than with 7xl geared for about the same speed (high 30's), and runtimes seem as good if not better.
But I didn't buy this motor to use in this setup, it could end up staying though.
