It will fit, but I would suggest the smaller/higher KV 1410 motor instead. It rips on 2s and stays cool. The 1415 will need to be geared very high or run on 3s to keep up with other motors. I even had guys at my local track asking if I was running a 3s in my rig while using the 1410. Never had an issue with power or speed using this motor. I gear mine at 16/62 and the motor always comes off the track after a 5min heat around 132 degrees. As said by others, the only motor I'll even think about replacing mine with, is possibly the new Tekin 4pole sensored motor that's coming out.
Just won another local club race again today. Still no issues with my truck. It handles great and is so damn durable. I love this thing. I really need some sort of overshield for the chassis though. The fine dirt that gets slung into my chassis is eating up MMP fans left and right. It's gotten to the point where I have to remove the fan and take it apart to clean it and oil it after each heat/main. I see a 55degree difference when the fan is working compared to when it is not. Fan working: come off track at 115degrees. Fan not working: come off track at 170degrees. This is after a 5min heat or main.
