the hpi tork 2200 or castle 2200 kv would be perfect on 4-5s but for 6s I don't know, probably the 1515 1.5y, I have it in the mean machine and even tried it in the df35" with a 43 prop and runs great never heats up

i was\am looking for a 6s motor as i already have several setts of 3s batteryes so for the neu`s it make most sense to get the 1515 1.5y or the 1521 1y but i cant se the 1521 fitting in my drifter.
both are perfect for 6s you will never have any problem, the 1515 will be OK

have to admit though. have had thoughts on the 1515 beeing to small for a df 33. but it sounds like it have the power needed :D
The 1515 are great in mono's about 33" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXhwHUnK-ec
1515 1y on 4s set up run
To me the 1515 will be a borderline motor for the Df33, I would personally get the 1521 1Y or the Neu/Castle 1520 if you plan to use 6s. I know others have run the 1515 but I think a little larger can would be better.

What was your setup with the 580l. I will be running one in a 31" mono on 4s.
I disagree Raydee , hey that rhymes !! Anyway have tried 1521, 1527 and 1515 in a DF hull. Admitadley on 4s but for my money it is the 1515. If your hull is set up well and the hull blue printed nice and sharp it is the motor for me. Good run times, in circuit trim lap times as good or better and less amp draw
think il just have to se. at the moment the 13XL in it now comes back cool and gives about 6 minutes runtime on 642 and 443. so if a 1515 1.5y wil deliver a little more punch then that id be a happy camper :D
my cyberstorm has a 1521 1577kv on 6s its real fast..i would say in a df33 it would be even crazier fast..
"FE" STANDS FOR FRUSTRATING EXPLOSIONS
The 1515 1Y is a fantastic motor for a 33" mono on 4S.

I agree Mr Smock, I find the DF33 not the best 6s hull
I am actually thinking about buying the 36" version and selling my 33" version. I think the 1521 1.5D might be a bit much for the 33" version. Either that OR I just need to set mine up better

What is the difference between the Neu and the Neu Castle? Has anyone tried the Neu Castle motors yet?
The 1515 1.5Y won't be enough on 4s. The Neu/Castle motors are mass produced in China using Steve Neu's designs. From what I read and was told they are about 10% less powerful than a real Neu motor. I run one in my 8th scale truggy and it runs great.

For hulls > 30", you might want to consider the 1521

There seems to be two opinions on the motor size to get 1515 vs 1521. Since I am looking for speeds at around 45 - 50 on my triton running 4s which size makes sense? Will I get more amps and heat on the 1515 vs 1521? This has been a great thread by the way.
Spend once and enjoy longer...go for the the NEU/castle. You will not regret it.
which one if there is one is closer to a 1527 2y I think thats the right model for 1/8th scales isnt it?
