Has anyone ran a 1515 2200kv in a PT45 before?
if so how was it on 4s, and what prop did you use?
Thanks

There is no way the 1515 motor will push that hull and live. I tried a 1521 on mine and it ran in the 50's but the motor ran hot. Its a big, wide hull and even though you can get away with a 1521 a 1527 is a safer bet.

Dang, for some reason I thought I saw someone with a 1515 in their 45..

[Brushless55]

What other motors will work on 4s for this hull?

[Raydee]

I know Jay Turner has had luck with the 1527 1D motor on 4s but I think it will be a hot setup.

What do you think about the 1717 for this hull?

[calcagno45]

The hull would be better on 6s...

[Brushless55]

why?

[Rumdog]

It's a BIG hydro. To get a decent prop swinging with lower amps, you'll want a 1520 or 1521 at least on 6s. The smaller PT hydro however, will do well with the 1515.

What about the 1717 on 5s?

[Rumdog]

I'd have to ask someone who has ran that motor, but I'm assuming it's quite a beast!

Here is my 3 cents.....This will be my next hull inline, PT 45, if Fine Design cant get my Twin Wing I orderd. But anyway you have to look at cost to run a 2s battery setup......and you will need 2s for that hull, A 1500kv 1527 NEU motor i am told is the way to go with 6s 2p. But when i looked at the cost of the batteries I run.....45-90c 5000mah they where almost 500.00 for the pair.So now im leaning to the 2,300kv 1527 motor and run it on 4s2p so i can save on cheaper batteries in the long run. Lets face it...........$1,000.00 for two pairs of batteries for what......10-12 min. run time. Things start adding up real quick.

[Brushless55]

wow, my packs are much much cheaper

[Gary]

I started useing the highest C rated battery i could find last year and they always out performed all others i used so I am a Thunder Power buyer now. They are 45-90c , 5,000mah and put out 450amps at full tilt. You pay for them though !!!!!!!!!!LOL

Check out the Hyperion 3G's if you want insane power! 45/90C 4S 5000's are $160 and the 6S are $240. PM me. I give the guys here on OSE a great discount on them, like $200 shipped for the 6S.
