New castle mmx8s 1520 combo

[Mt410dude]

New 1520 1650 can this is the mill I have been waiting for. Perfect power for Et48.3 without gearing limitations.

Good luck getting it to fit that ESC is huge!
I think that motor is about 1/2" longer than the 1515 can also.

I hate to be a dream crusher and I hope to be proven wrong but I have a hard time seeing that combo fitting.

I as well like to be bigger and better than the next guy from harleys to pickup trucks. But this set up in a ET is crazy ?

what kind of driving do you plan to do with this set up. I would be afraid you would send it into orbit off of a big jump??

I have a 1515 can with a MMX and she rips. I barely have enough room for my sensor cable.

if you do manage to shoehorn this set up into your rig keep us posted on what all you break/upgrade to support all this power?

Well fellas the esc will fit with the m2c plate over the brake servo location, and I plan to ran 5s and 6s my et is converted to a mt with large tires . Will post when complete.

Sounds good you should never have any heat issues this way as long as your pinion is a reasonable size

Amain does run some good holiday sales may see if this is one of the deals they run in a couple of weeks

they always get some of my $$ on them end of the year sales

I love my MMX and 1515/2200 combo, but I too sometimes feel the siren song of 'more'...

I will have to try this one out in something, soon!

I just built an Et48.3 with full M2C wide body and caste 1520 MMX8S combo.
I am going to run 3.8MX badlands. So I am thinking 18 pinion? On 6S
Any thoughts?
Thanks

18t seems reasonable given the beast of a motor that is pushing it, but again like any new build you should keep temps in check.

Those tires on the other hand are massive!!

get her out and rip it we all want to how it performs with that Coke can for a motor

 

[BeardedHurrah]

Thank You!
It’s more of a Red Bull Can than a Coke can! LOL
It’s only a 1520.
