1520/1y on 10S

[old guy]

I have some motors sitting here looking for speed I have a maritimo and some 1520/1Y X 2 motors then run 10S lipo this would only be a fun saw boat would this work as I no nothing about FE I'm a gas and nitro guy? I also have a 115 could I put 2 1717/1Y in it on 5S a side and get good speed. I have some neu 5S 5000 lipos and was trying to work aroung what I got. I would try 10S on the 115 if it would take it not sure how much RPM I would lose when the motors were under load to get it in to the 450000 rpm range the 1520 has 60000 rpm range. like I said just wanting to use what I have to work with for now

i think both motors are best suited for 6s. I'm looking for a 1717 if you want to sell one PM me, i'm in BC too.

1600 kv on 10s?

[old guy]

1600 kv on 10s?

motor can said it's good to 60,000RPM that's way I asked.that does not mean the ESC will handel it. Like I said I know nothing about the FE world I run Nitro and gas I have lots of national titles for racing but that does me no good when it come to FE set up so how do you find out you ask people that know and hope they help you along the way

not sure how much RPM I would lose when the motors were under load to get it in to the 450000 rpm range

.... that is a hair above 60k - I hope that was a typo or you may have a mangled Timo on your hands.

I agree the flinch/wince reaction to 1600KV on 10S (60K yes) but recall those are nominal volts and with the burst, you could be dumping over 40 volts into those poor motors... I wouldn't want to know the amperage at that load..

I know, probably not much help, but just seconding opinions regarding max rpms and max voltage you could peak at.

good luck!

For SAW those motors would work in a 30 inch size hydro on 8S. It is a bit much on 10S and that small of motor, I would not put too much weight on it to push.

[Rumdog]

For a Maritimo, those motors are a little overkill. I have a Maritimo that I have set up with twin 1515 1y's on 5s each. That is pretty overkill for this hull too. You may want a larger hull, or less motor for that hull.

[RandyatBBY]

Oh he was thinking twins I am way off base sorry I thought a single.

[old guy]

Thanks all for your help so this is a no no looks like I need some 6S packs maybe so will the 115 work with the 1717 on 6S or 8S 8S would be good for me then I can use the 4S packs for other boats to.

Old Guy both the 1520 and 1717 are 6s max motors, and both work great on 6s!! if your doing a twin setup in that hull maybe consider going with a pair of 2200kv motors, perhaps a pair of 4074 leopards and run it on 4s each that way you can use your batteries you have and it would be reliable and i'm thinking it would really move too!

Im pretty sure castle rates them 6s max because that's the limit of the only ESC they have to use with these (they were intended for 1/8 scale off road). I have ran the 1717 on 9s but only in a road car for speed laps. That rpm in a boat would have to be used with a tiny prop that would defeat the purpose of using a larger can motor like the 1717. I might try either motor in a twin setup on 8s though, with a pair of good escs.

[keithbradley]

I should ad my last post before that one was in my "look at the boat I just caught on fire" thread. Im not giving advice, most people aren't comfortable with high RPM stuff. I can say those motors can run that RPM though. Current draw is the main concern.

[detox]

You could run one 5s pack per 1520 motor. This would give unloaded rpm of 29,000. Run time will be short with only 5000mah per pack. I hope your esc's live using only 5000mah.

Using a single 1520 motor with two 5s 5000mah packs wired parallel (totalling 10,000mah) would be a better option. Will two 5s 5000mah packs fit your hull?

[old guy]

the 115 is a good size boat you could run 4 5S packs. I have some 1521/1.5D neu motors to I was just thinking it would be cool if I could use the 1717 on 10 just to see how fast I could get it to go. On 6S it has gone 89mph with the neu motors. I guess it's back to the neu and for the maritimo I will use the 1509 neus or I have some Aveox 36/30/1.5 and run them on 5S to. neu has them on sale for $7? now so I will just get 2 more then I will have 4 that should be good to run my big hydro on 10S 10000mah or 20000mah and run both cats on twin 5S set ups. So on a 54" hydro do I need 10000mah or 20000mah on 10S thats with a 2028 at780 kv
AAAAh gas boats just add gas and go lol
