15 deg is perfect for that motor. It is a "y" wind and that is the timing recommended on Neu's website towards the bottom.

I'de back it to 7* and see how it runs

[blackcat26]

May run better there who knows. I made some timing test on my align one time and all three or 4 settings were within a few mph of each other. I was disappointed. I wanted to see a huge difference!

usually you will not see a huge difference but the amount of amp draw can be big

[blackcat26]

Makes sense. I have never used any kind of data logging. I always just look for the smoke!

From Neu, applicable to neu/castle motors.
Settings for “other” brushless ESCs:
1) 11XX,15XX and 22XX series of motors are all 4 pole designs. 19XX series are 8 poles and the 44XX series are 12 poles.
2) Use low (0-10 degrees)or medium(10-15 degrees) advance settings for “Y” wind motors and low (0-10 degrees) advance settings for “D” wind versions.
3) Brake settings are up to the user and application.

Brushless, these 5000mah 20C LiPos have always charged to 4.24-4.28/ cell. I have been using this series for over 2 years now and in my experience with them I have learned that when they start taking less than 4.10v/cell it's usually a sign of weak cells. So far I have killed 2 packs with this boat it's the price to pay to play, I guess.

I will try lowering the timing next time i run the 1512 and see if the battery heat dies down a bit. But I may never run it n this boat again since the outrunner runs so good. Thanks for the advice!

[Brushless55]

have you ever tried doing a balance on those packs?
not a balance charge, but a balance only on the packs
not sure if that could help those packs

[forescott]

Yeah, that's what I wanna know. I have both motors as well, but haven't tried the inrunner yet.

[JackBlack26]

Brushless, yes. Every once in a while I leave my Common Sense Ballance Pro on each pack over night. Have not noticed any advantage of doing that.

[LiPo Power]

So can you race with others using 6S on MS Geico and 1512 motor?

[Brushless55]

Brushless, yes. Every once in a while I leave my Common Sense Ballance Pro on each pack over night. Have not noticed any advantage of doing that.

good, I think that will help the packs have a longer life

[wiskers]

Picture is kinda blurry but you get the idea.

In Thread # 177's picture it looks as if the bottom leading edge of the rudder has been rounded. Is this true? And if it is, how is that working for you? I have been contemplating do just that for a while, but I haven't found any theads on this yet.

[ray schrauwen]

I think this is to reduce lift caused by the rudder.
