1515 1y

[steve-b]

Hey guys,
I have a neu 1515 1y.
Has anyone ran this motor on 5, or even 6s?
I have been running it in a Jae 21, on 2x 2s 40c 5000 and it realy isnt much faster then the ul1 setup. It probably just pulls more amps???
If 6s is OK, should i get just one 6s batterie, or would it be better with two 3s in series? Or does it matter?
Im using a 200A ESC.

Thanks.

Steve.

Put a bigger prop on it... it should be much faster on 4s then a ul-1 setup!!! anything higher then 4s is saw rpm land..... they Neu's and Neu/Castles can take a big prop without breaking a sweat... Stick with 4s and PROP UP!

[steve-b]

I normally use a x445...Bigger than that?

is that what you ran on the ul-1 setup with good temps? if so... yes then bigger then that.... maybe a higher pitch prop or something will work too so not to have to large a diameter on a rigger... start a thread asking for prop recomendations... alot of guys run the JAE's... I'm no rigger guy I just know the Castle 1515 is MUCH stronger then the UL-1 motor and can swing a bigger prop then a UL-1 motor...

The neu 1515 1y should crush a aqua 2030 motor. You are going to need more pitch.

Well.............the Neu spec chart says good up to 27 volts and 60k rpms..............but, the driveline is the big consideration at that point. Its probably best to stay 5s or less if you want to push the limits..............but its really not needed. 4s with a large 4 series prop outta get you some more speed............Neu's like to be loaded up to perform........x447 at least.

I agree make-a-wake... in boats with a load I think they are more of a 4s motor... they put the Castle/NEU 1515 1y's in Erevo Brushless edition.... I run 6s in my low friction much lower amp land based erevo on the 1y but don't think I would do it in a boat.... unless I was just wanting to make a couple SAW like passes to "wow" my friends...

6s= 55,440 rpm unloaded....SAW type setup
5s= 46,200 rpm unloaded....still way high rpm
4s= 36,960 rpm unloaded... still pretty high but good for a FAST boat... :)

What 200 amp esc?

Douggie

[steve-b]

I'm not sure what kind it is.
I'm sure its not a very good one.(china)
I have run it in the past on a swordfish 120 with an etti cap bank, with the same results.
Over the winter i will be buying a real ESC, maybe a hydra 180???

The 1515/1Y has a similar Kv to the UL-1 so with the same props it can't be expected to be much faster. But it will be able to pull a bigger prop than the UL-1 motor can. Realize that the UL-1 is probably pulling around 90 amps with that prop, and the 1515 can pull well over 125 amps with a bigger prop - there is no free lunch.

I suggest at least an m545 or m645 prop with that motor. In P Sport hydros it pulls x642s if the set up is right so it should be easy with a good rigger. Something with 2.8 to 3.0 inches of pitch should be no problem for that motor if the diameter isn't increased much. A lifting prop like an H-7 or H-10 ABC prop should work great but may require some small changes in strut depth/angle and weight on prop.

I chose to build my JAE with the fixed strut, so all ill be able to do is change the weight on the prop.
I will have to get a couple of these suggested props and give them a try.
I do have a highly modified 2050 that has been redused to 46mm, with back cut. This was a very fast prop on my eagle nitro rigger. Just dont want to fry anything.

[Fluid]

I wouldn't try the 2050 until I tried the others first. Even then, two passes and in to check temps.

In heat racing I wonder if the Nue 1.5D 2700 Kv motor would be OK to use with 4s power and smaller m445 prop ? It would turn more RPM's for sure

thats one heck of a jump from the x445. I would go with fluids suggestion of the m545 or m645 first.

Can I ask what SAW means? I keep seeing it around the forum...

I have done a search but no luck.
