Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Reedy
1515-SL Brushless Motor. The latest brushless
motor technology along with the design and
engineering experience that is responsible for 28
World Championship titles has been incorporated
into its design.
Due to its sensorless design, the Reedy 1515-SL
Brushless Motor operates powerfully and efficiently
without complicated sensor harnesses. This motor
is perfectly suited for use with ESCs that are
designed to operate sensorless brushless motors.
Features
• Oversized Precision Ball Bearings
• High-Torque 4-Pole Rotor
• Hardened 5mm Steel Shaft
• Triple-Insulated Windings
• Sensorless Operation
• 4.0mm Connectors

Please read the following before
installing and using your new motor.
Precautions and Warnings
• Please read the instructions before installing
and operating your motor.
• Avoid over gearing by monitoring motor
temperature. Operating temperatures should
not exceed 80C (175F).
• Be sure to use the proper size motor mounting
screws.
• Do not over-tighten the motor mounting screws.
• Do not use a Schottky diode with this motor
Installation and Maintenance
• Your motor should be installed using 3mm
screws with a length (generally 10mm or less)
that does not allow the screw to extend into the
motor more than 5mm. Otherwise, the screw
can damage the motor’s internal components.
• Do not over-tighten the motor mounting screws.
Doing so may strip the mounting hole threads.
• Connect the three leads exiting the motor to the
three motor leads from your Electronic Speed
Control (ESC). If the motor runs backwards
when giving it forward throttle, reverse any two
motor leads. The motor will now turn in the
desired direction.
• To clean your motor, lightly brush dirt away on
a regular basis paying particularly close attention
to the areas around the ball bearings. DO NOT
spray cleaners or solvents into the motor.
