pictures with the 1527 please .

Here you go, its a tight fit,but it fits,you will need to removed the whole motor mount and assemble it on the bench and then fit it back into the chassis.

about the heat shrinks from where you got the red one

I keep seeing this quote about Longer BL is Better? I'm assuming this 1527 is about as long as it's going to get in this kit? What's your review of this set-up?

Longer is definitely better. Fatter rotors cannot handle being spun to fast without shattering . Something to do with to much weight . This will definitely be my next motor .

 

[landmissle]

I've never heard of that one! I know my 1717 gets hot if I try to spin it to fast.

 

[bigfol]

Well this is by far the best motor I have had in my xbe its has so much more power and torque, the temps and amp draw are within a comfortable range as well.

 

[bigblkblazin]

I have a few parts to buy before I get that cannon but from what I can gather that motor was made for the xbe . Efficiency and scalability . I have heard of the boat guys spinning them up to 70-80k rpm .

 

[landmissle]

So have you strapped a garmin to the top and measured a top speed run???

 

[bigfol]

Not yet,soon.....

 

[KrashKrieg]

Which 1527 is that? what gearing are you going to use? can't wait to see a video...

 

[bigfol]

Its a 1500kv 1.5d motor 8mm shaft, the down side with this motor is the D windings they run a lot hotter compaired to the Y wound versions, thats why water cooling is a good thing with this motor, I had a few runs, geared 14/45 and it over heated, the glue holding the rotor shaft to the magnets let go, currently running a turnigy 5692 1000kv motor,I adjusted the motor torque settings through the castle esc, I hate to admit it but,its putting the Neu 1527 to shame.....

Is it possible to post pics with the Turnigy motor?

What gearing are you running with the 1000kv?

 

[bigfol]

What gearing are you running with the 1000kv?

16/45, will drop it down to 16/41 on the weekend, should give it some legs.....

 

[TTH]

Any more updates on this setup?

 

[bigfol]

Not really the motor ended up blowing out a magnet, got to hot I guess, If your going to try this set up, I would be gearing it 14/48 to keep the temps in check.....
