No one is saying you can't reach 'those speeds' with a 1518... all we are saying is that the 1520 will get there with a little efficiency... 1600kv is not that low... as said before, if you gear it appropriately it will still do the job.

From Wikipedia: 'Torque, also called moment or moment of force, is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist.'

So, the higher 'moment of force', the faster motor will achieve it's "twist'... which translates to greater acceleration and getting to 'top speeds' quicker...

Where the 1518 works good, the 1520 works just better in truck and truggy."

As the thread name says, '1520 - your experiences'... I can only really speak to the 1520... but I am sure the numbers also speak for themselves... I too believe that the 1520 is overkill,
but that's what i love about it.
