Questions on motor that comes in brushless e-revo

[Psycho-Savvy]

Hi, I been reading on this forum for a while tring to learn all of this brushless lingo. My question is how does the castle motor in the brushless e-revo compare to the Neu 1515 1.5d? I see the CC motor is rated at 2200kv and the Neu is rated at 2700kv, so the Neu would spin more rpm? The CC motor will not be as powerfull as the Neu? thanks

i think the CC motor is designed by neu also... and theres going to be two versions of the CC motor, one 2200kv and one 2700kv.

The 2700kv will spin faster, more rpm but, that doesn't mean its more powerfull. There is a trade off for a faster spinning motor like the ability to push the truck without burnning up.( I'm not saying the 2700kv would burn up or would even get hot) The 2700 would work harder to get the truck going but would be faster, while the 2200 would work less to get it going but would be slower.

The 2200kv motor is based on the Neu 1515 1y motor. The 2650kv motor is based on the Neu 1512 1y. The performance is suppossed to be the same between the CC version and the original Neu. But we will have to wait to find out for sure.

Like others have said, the Castle 2200 is the same as the neu 1515/1y 2200.

Compairing the 1515/1y to the 1515/1.5D;

The 1Y will have more torque, and pull less amps, which in turn generates less heat.

The 1.5d will spin faster given the same voltage. It will do so pulling more amps. which generaly causes more heat.

Neu motors are some of the most efficent motors made. So heat generated by these motors is USUALLY not a problem. You will still ned to gear your truck accordingly.

Also, the max RPM for these motors is 60,000. Remembering that most companies like to overstate their specs, its generally common practice to keep these motors spinning at 48000rpm or less.

Also, dealing with all electronics, it has become known that higher voltage, and lower kv motors run more efficent than higher kv motors on lower voltage.

The 1.5d is generally run on 4s (14.8v) (occasional speed runs on 6s)
The 1/y is run on both 4s and 6s systems.

I found that the most efficent system I have run so far (least amount of heat) Was running the 1/y on 6s geared for about 46. I ran all day and the temps never got above 120F

Thanks guys for helpful info.

Note:

The 2650kv motor is smaller than the 2200kv motor, as it is intended for lighter 1/8 scale buggies and truggies. The maxx and revo will use the larger 2200kv motor.
