Parallel 5s lipos for E-revo

And how exactly do you guys feel about the 1y on 5s, which is just over 40,000 rpm, still well below the 60,000 max. Anyone here with any experience of this motor on 5s?

I have a 1515 1y in my truggy on 5s, its borderline unnecessary.. rediculous amounts of power, remember it will be turning 45k on a fully charged pack

Im debating steping down to a lower kv.

I agree for racing 1600-2000 is the max kv you want with a 5s+ system, if you are running 4s 2200-2700 is fine depending on your gearing and speed needs.. higher kv = more speed, lower kv = more run time. To be honest reguardless of the motor I won't gear any race truck for over 42mph anymore, I actually like shooting for about 38mph to be honest.. more than enough top end and leads to slightly longer run times.

I run a 1515/2y on 10s...speed wise its equal to a 1515/1y on 5s, but runs cooler. I wouldn"t go any faster with the rpm's I feel it tops out there and any more speed it would be out of control
