With a finned Neu 1515 I can't use anything smaller than a 20T pinion on my RC8. I'll have to modify or relocate the rear brace if I want to run anything smaller.

It looks like we get a .5 volt BEC bonus with the V2. I'm pretty impressed with the MMM V2, my only gripe so far is the harshness of the brakes. Something about the frequency it uses seems to...

My Neu has the 25mm spacing. I've tried 3 different 3mm screws and they all fit without a "problem", there's just more slop than I'd like. It's not a big deal.
