My 1521/1Y has pulled a max of 169A and the 1527/1D will go over that with no problem. This is the only reason why I still haven't put the 1527/1.5Y in my truck. I might go with one of my Aveox that is the same size as a Neu 1515 just to spare my drive train.

ahhh... hi AMP, so i guess that rules out the Phoenix ESC's. I think they're only rated upto 140 amp bursts (Phoenix-110) That MGM you linked to would do the job.

yes, the drivetrain would be the problem, especially on a maxx, i'm thinking the slipper and the input/output shafts would be the hardest hit. What parts are you breaking with the 1521 Lutach?

Are Flightpower cells the same as NeuEnergy cells, both Enerland??

Thanks for the input Lutach, really appreciate it!!

So far I have gone through a couple spur gears and internal diff gears (spider gears). I will soon have to get diff ring and pinion. I have to see if Bomb-Proof Products still have center drive shafts for my truck and will also have to get more drive cups. If you get the 1527/1D, go with the MGM 22418 and the highest capacity 30C Enerland cells (Yes, Flightpower or NeuEnergy) and it would be nice to get them 2 packs in parallel. I think 4S will be a better choice for the 1527/1D, 5S will be insane and 6S will make your bank account go empty from buying parts for your truck .

you'll have 0 or 100% brakes, and no reverse...
