Neu 1515/2.5D or 1512/1.5Y, 2.5D... which motor? - RC-Monster Forums

A4DTM, LOL. We are going to have to agree to disagreee on this. :) Glad to hear the 1515 is working out good for you.

I originally had the 1515 in my revo and then got a 1512/2.5d for my XLB conversion. I like it so much but I pulled it from my XLB to replace the 1515 in my revo. Then the 1515 found its way to my matrix, but that was really just to large of a motor for that light little truck so it got pulled and traded to you for my 2nd 1512/2.5d. Now I'm not even using the 1512 you traded to me. I actually went even smaller on the motor for the Matrix and I'm running a Lehner 1930 now and really think that its right on the money (still needs more testing though). The your old 1512 will soon find a home in my brushless XLB which is the motor that I originally ran in it and liked it so much.

The 1515 and 1512 have both been run in a bunch of different vehicle. I was more specifically talking about my revo. I have had alot more sucess with the 1512 in my revo than I did with the 1515. I have had alot more sucess with the 1512 in general. Dont get me wrong... The 1515 is awesome too. But I really feel like unless you have a real heavyweight vehicle (13-14+ lbs), you are better off getting a using a properly sized motor. Its my feeling that the whole system runs better when the motor is the right for the job.

ZPB, In reality, if you are used to running an XL motor, no matter which Neu motor you choose you will be very happy. Its just head and shoulders better than the Feigaos.

So the 1512 2.5D should be good power on 5s2p (for now) with a 9.5lb maxx?

I am hearing this a lot now that ppl are really liking the smaller motors with the faster spool up...more agile.

I have no problem saving $50 CAD on with the 1512. :027:

With a 9.5lb truck you will love the 1512. PLENTY of power IMO. My revo is right about 10lbs and I really love the match.

EDIT: I run 5s2p on it all day for bashing. 4s2p for the occational track use.

Just making sure, you do know that 5s A123 is equivalent to 4s LiPo right?

jhautz · 06.13.2007, 12:28 AM

Yes. I run my savage on 5s a123 for hard bashing. Its actually more like 4.5s lipo. I would even consider the (2200kv) 1515/1y instead of the 1515/2.5D if you go the 1515 route. I like power:p.

On 5s a123 the 2000kv motor would be great. It will run nice and cool.

Just making sure. You think it's 4.5 LiPo? I guess I have been comparing it to Trakpower's, 5s A123 is 4s Trakpower, according to eagletree.

Okay, so it's between the 1.5Y and the 2.5D, 1900Kv or 2000Kv...... oooh the choices! :005:
