Personnel opinion only..

A 1512 2.5d is a great 1/8 scale buggy motor, but a Revo is much bigger and heavier, I would think that a 1515 1y or bigger it would keep it running cooler, give you greater use of various gears options and provide you with a greater range of lipo's to use.. A Revo is fun on 4s, it great on 5s and it stupid fun on 8s.. plan for the future.

Just a thought..


Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..

True!! always give your self a few more extra cells just incase u want to upgrade in the future. ive made a big mistake by getting 6s for my revo. Not enough speed for me (since i'm a speed freak). Now i gotta buy a whole new esc and motor to run at least 10s!!!

power plant won't be a problem... but finding a drivetrain that'll hold up is the biggest issue..

I think 10S is beautiful and 12S is just right for me . High voltage rules. Sorry I had to say that.

I have run 10s on my savage with the 14xl... I see no reason not to go the hv route....

I am also getting 35-40min runtimes with an 8s pack that cost me 120 bucks. 3600 12c polyrc cells were cheap a year ago, and with the 14xl they keep up fine. I spent twice that on my trakpower lipos, and for similar performace to the savage I have to run a neu and a mmm. Guess what setup is cheaper?
