1512/1.5y an option?

[Clarence Creer]

Greetings,
I can't seem to get a 1515/2.5D/F anywhere, so I was wondering if the 1512/1.5Y was a good choice for 6S. I have been without a motor for 11 days and I need to do something quick. I've gone round and round trying to get my 3 flight 600XL replaced through my LHS, but he claims they are on backorder.
Thanks,
Clarence

Hi Clarence,

I guess it depends a little on what type of flying you are going to be doing.

I am flying with the Neu 1512/1.5 Y/F on 6s and I am perfectly happy with this setup but I am not by any means a 3d guru.
It is also the lightest option from Neu if I am not mistaken.

Hope this helps,
Serge

correct , depending on what flying you do it could be a viable option . I run the 1515/2.5D/F , VERY STRONG MOTOR, stronger than the 600l and 600XL motors IMHO :wink: .... but at the expense of flight time , i get 5 min of 3D. the 1512/1.5Y/F while not quite as strong as the 1515 is very capable and is IMO stronger than the 600L motor and it will do 3D very easiny and also give you a slightly longer flight time because of it's weight and uses less Amps.... several people have commented that they like this setup.... you won't be dissapointed with either motor... :wink:

.... but at the expense of flight time

Interesting I'm getting 30 secs more pack time (FF only) with my 1515/2.5D over the stock 600 - I out it down to a more efficient motor - so more sedate flyers don't have to expect flight time reduction

I was talking about the 1515 giving a little less flight time over the 1512 , not the 600 motors... but , Yea the 1515 will fly a little longer than the 600 motors but if you fly hard , the 1515 can actually draw more power than the others in hard 3D causing a decrease in flight time...

If i remember correctly the 1512/1.5Y should give around 2300HS using a 10T straight pinion. Do the motor tends to bog down heavily under load or can it maintain (decent) headspeed ? What about heat ? Is is as good as the 1515 is reported to be, where overheating is more or less non existing ?

[erniefritz]

the 1512 doesnt bog as much as the 600L but more than the 1515 , still gives a good HS during Maneuvers, Heat isn't an issue from what i've heard...

Thanks for all of the replies. I decided to go with the 1515/2.5D/F. I ordered one from amainhobbies.com and it should be here in 2 days.

Thanks,
Clarence
