If I do... I'll be bringing my tunnels as well... Have a nice LOSI 1/8th scale motor setup that I think would light things up, and a tunnel that I think can handle it!Darin E. Jordan - Renton, WA

first run with outrunner
Here's the first run; everything the same as with the UL-1 motor; prop : Grimracer 42/55 detounged and mildly cupped. Wanted to see difference first with same prop. Maybe picked up 1-2 mph. Motor @ 115 deg., batt's & SC lukewarm. Plan was to prop up to a scalpel-sharp M445 cut down @ 1mm. Had to leave before
2nd test, so no data on potential "unfair advantage". So far, no big diff, but bigger prop may tell the tale.

Tony I was thinking about trying that motor in my Whiplash hydro. It will replace a 1515 1Y but I just don't think it will compare to my current 60mph setup.
Couple questions,
Are the mounting holes the same on the Scorp and the Neu 1515 series?
Do you still use a Thrust bearing on the Scorp motor? I have a Large outrunner on one of my Heli's and I can basically pull the motor can right off, there is nothing holding the can on the motor besides the magnets. I see that the Scorp's have some sort of collar on the motor shaft to hold the can on though.Team Liquid DashComment

Your motor should have come with a collar also. That is standard issue. If you didn't get one, it must be a cheapo company making your motor. The point is, the can is held on with a very small clip. If the clip fails, the motor can come apart, thus the 'safety collar'. This only applies if you are mounting the motor one way. If mounting the other way, the collar isn't needed. Look at your motor and how it is put together. You will see what I mean.

Yep I know what you mean but no collor or safety clip came with the motor. In all honesty in the heli it could never come apart because of the pinion gear BUT if I was going to try one in a boat that would be a different story.Team Liquid DashComment
