[Jacked1]

anyone got a direct link to the page they are on? either i'm blind and can't see them or they have sold out already

Yea they sold out already.

That was one FAST sale! No kidding about the "limited stock". Hey maybe they will find some 1518's and 1520's buried in boxes as they search.

gee's, sorry rummy, I feel kinda responsible for your loss

[Boaterguy]

check the swap shop on multiple forums as well as ebay, they will be marked up from 70$ but still cheaper than 300$!

It seems a lot of the motors that people are receiving from this batch have a 6mm shaft, a few guy's on the LST forum have found this out and I found this on BYT forum

SORRY guys, unfortunately these motors were made with a 6mm shaft (that's why they were off to th side in the warehouse.) If anyone is unhappy with the fact that they got a 6mm shaft, please let me know. We will give a full refund to anyone who wants to return the motor. (P.S. --I didn't know about the sale until after the motors were gone ... and I would have suggested charging $150, and not $80 ) Thanx!

I'd suggest to anyone who bought one in this sale batch to check before you fork $$ out for a 5mm coupler.

There are a couple of 6mm couplers here in the store,

Or the shaft can be turned down to 5mm fairly easily.Just take your time and measure, measure and measure again!!

I prefer 6mm for this size motor anyway. It's better if you have a boat with 1/4" drive because 5mm to 1/4" is a rare animal.

I'm happy about it.

If anyone needs to turn down the 6mm shaft to 5mm, here is the thread from rcmonster on how some of us did it.
