a 1518 is too much for a race truggy.. not to mention a battery hog.. LOL my 2200 doesn't get the slightest bit hot in my tekno 8t setup.

I've been running the 1515 1y as noted above, the 1512 really isn't that much smaller and I'm debating on running it if not on 4s geared a touch taller, but maybe on a 5s 5800 pack geared the same for TOP end. This should yeild a bunch more run time if the motor can stay cool enough.. vs my current 4s 6500's w/ the 2200 (1y) castle nue. I may just stay w/ the 2200 1y I had great success this year racing.. but I'm a tweaker

PS I ran the tekno lektron 2200kv motor in my 8ight buggy all season and with out any heat issues or problems.. the 1512 is bigger than this motor, so I figured it maybe able to do the job..
