You could also go with an even longer motor like a Neu 1524 1.5d, at 1700kv and 4" long it's a massive unit. The power could end up being a real problem though if you punch it too hard from too slow a speed. I consider going beyond the 1518 in anything that weighs less than 10lbs moving backwards just for bling factor. Reason being is that if the 1518 will spin up to it's max rpm geared with the largest pinion the mount will allow, and the 1524 doesn't spin faster, you haven't gained any actual speed and you're just cutting down the run time from the extra weight you've added to the buggy.
so power to weight ratio the 1518 is better ??
