Drum roll please... final Neu motor choice(s)......

1515/2.5D is a killer motor on 6s. PLENTY powerful for that application. Running higher kv doesnt necessarily give more speed. Speed is in the gearing.

All of those motors you mentioned will pull alot of amps on 6s. 60+ MPH and 30+ min runtime will be a hard combo to get with that big of a truck and 5000mah. With the 2.5D you can gear it up for the crazy speed, but then gear it down and get nice long runtimes as well.

Just my opinion.

I'm with jhautz on his suggestions. The gearing is where you need to be focussed as well as how that will be impacted by your KV. KV doesn't equal speed unless it's geared that way. And if it is - you'll be burning more amps at that speed than with a lower KV motor geared to the same speed. If you want run times, then a lower KV is best.

If I were you, I would get the 1515 in the 1900KV for full flexability. Besides, I have a link here for you where they're selling one for under $200 - new. This is what I would get if I were you:

Any of those motors will do about what you want with the right gearing so I say why not save the $$?

That motor flydma is selling is not for just the motor. He'll need to buy the gearbox too and that will add $110 to the good price of just the motor.

I'm pretty sure he can just get the motor w/o the gearbox. I could be wrong though. I got my current 1515 from them also and just avoided the gearbox option. Might be worth a call to them to clarify if he's interested. Sweet deal at $188 if it comes w/o the gearbox. Good catch though lutach.

I tried getting that motor, but once you add it to your cart the gearbox is added automatic.

Hmm. . . well, sorry - I tried.
