any advise on a esc for a cc1520?

I did not know they were diffent winds
D vs Y

I was digging into those 4082's I was thinking about getting the 1500kv and then I started wondering why their was 2 similar kv's and then I found the different winding. I bought a 1717 instead for the project but for the information i rattled off on d vs y here's where I got it from http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ead.php?t=1082

The 1500kv verison is wye wind the 1450kv is a d wind. Typically wye winds are more efficient (so i have read) and have less torque then wye wind motors (once again based only on what i have read). With the 1450 your timing is going to be a lot lower on your t-180 something around 3.75 (or so) and on the 1500 10-15 would be good on the timing. Prop selection is going to be the key. on the 1500kv due to it being a wye wind and having a little more torque a bigger prop may not show a large spike/draw in the amps but the 1450 even though slightly lower kv going to big on the prop may result in amps spiking due the wind.

I could very easily be completly wrong! I am not the smartest at these things...

Hi thanks for the reply,
But in ose web site they never mention anything about wye wind and d wind.
I am about to place the order till i read this.
can anybody clarify about this...

No the ose information does not mention it, I got it directly from Leopard Hobbies spec sheet, I am confident the information is correct after all it came from Leopard. If you also go to himodel they have that motor also and it is listed as a d wind. I have the sheet printed out. Let me see if I can scan it to myself and post it. Give me a few minutes.

*In your application it shouldn't make a HUGE deal, biggest difference will be timing.

Ok I went to Leopard and they don't have the sheet with all the motors. They are only showing 2 different verisons at this time. Luckly I printed out the sheet before the newest update so here is the sheet for the 4082 motors. The 1450 is the last one.

At least based on my interpretation of what I have read as well. Have yet to put it to practice.

Thanks for the info...Been really a great help.

Thanks again for the info.
Now only left the prop selection.
Cant find any balanced and sharpen props.....ose all no stock
Guess have to get the m445 not sharpen and not balanced.
