[lenny]

Hi,
Need some help.
I have cc1520 1y 1600kv motor and know nothing about them.
Would a cc 1520 1y 1600kv motor be good for sport running ?
What size hull can it push efficiently and on what cells ?

Thanks for any information.

The 1520 is a stout motor, it can really move out a 40" or less on 6s.............

[lenny]

It was in the 31"Impulse,
Are they amp hogs ?

[Make-a-Wake]

I wouldnt consider them "Amp hogs", they can put out some serious wattage........3000+ on 6s

[lenny]

That would be pushing a 180a esc right ?
Would that motor run on ok 8s ?

What are you planing to do with 8s?

[jimi911]

8s is going to put you up over 47000 rpm, which the motor will take, but it wont last that long. It would also require a more powerful esc. 5s or 6s is the right setup. You going to be up around 35K rpm with 6s so you don't want too big a boat. I bet it be pretty awesome in a 36" Sprintcat from Aeromarine or a 35" DF from OSE.

Runs great on 6s in a DF33 or a Cyberstorm.

Ok,
Thanks for all the info on the motor guys.
I may try it in my 36"Shockwave mod on 4s2p first and than 6s and if the hull likes it.
I do not have any 6s packs at this time, But I do have some 3s 4500mah packs to try 6s that way.
I need to get a good universal motor mount for easy in and out.
