Was there any deals on a MMP?

the brakes of my old MM stopped working, and my MMMv2 is dead.

Hope to replace MM w/ MMP

BrianG 12.01.2010 12:31 PM
There are some MM's still up (just checked), but IIRC, you can send in your MM and upgrade to a MMPro. I think it was $70 or something like that.

Thomas Porfert 12.01.2010 02:40 PM
We never had the MMP on the sale, just the MM. And Brian is correct, you can always send in your MM for an upgrade to a MMP for $80 + $5 return shipping.

FYI, the 1518 is sold out, we were unable to fulfill about 40 orders. We will be contacting people today and tomorrow. If you paid by credit card, we did not charge you, if you ordered by PayPal, we will be refunding the amount within 48 hours. We still have 1520's, and you will get the option to switch your order from the 1518 to another motor if you choose.

Start a new thread WANTED: Neu 1717 motor and see who bites. I have already had two people asking me if I wanted their orders, because they changed their minds about the porject they were getting them for. So there are motors out there for the taking. Some ordered these motors just because of the price not realizing how big they really are or what they were going to use them in. Don't give up. No I am not selling my order, or the extra 1717 motors I just picked up through resale posts. I have six SuperMaxx trucks & our boys each have one, and we plan to use them on one or two of our projects. Good luck with that. CC just dumpped a ton of these motors out there and I would be wiling to bet that most of them will not get used by the original owners. I guess Xmas came early for CC. Way to go CC. Now you have $$$$ for the next phase of your on going projects for 2011. NICE!!!!

What did you order Coolhand?

The website is still showing the 1717's in stock.

coolhandcountry 12.01.2010 09:06 PM
I ordered a 1518.
Didn't want a 1717 for what I had in plan.

Castle Creations Service
 
I've just got to brag about their service. I sent a V2 ESC back because it went up in flames on Saturday. No receipt because I bought the ESC from RC-Monster several moons ago. I was expecting to pay $70 for repairs. It's on it's way back to me fixed or replaced free of charge.

Thank You Castle Creations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:intello:

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...5/51d7d543.jpgI love Castle Creations!!! My 1518, one of the lucky 40 it seems :-)

Can't wait to pick up a Mamba XL HV and plug this bad boy in!

thzero 12.03.2010 09:38 AM
Why? XL is rather expensive, like double the cost, the Mamba Monster will handle that motor more than fine! About the only thing you get with the XL, since that motor has a 6S limitation, is the data logging.

8s is perfect for the 1518 (1800kv x 29.6v = 53,280rpm without a load) IMHO. The datalogging and 5amp BEC should do my buggy right as well :-)

Did you say buggy:gasp: Or did you mean muggy:lol:

thzero 12.03.2010 02:43 PM
I'm pretty sure you will void the warranty; after all the 1515, 1518, 1520 and 1717 are all stated by CC to have a max input of 25.2V.

And for the most part I've seen that the sweet spot with these motors are about 30-40k.

Yes, but a Lipo cell is about 4.2 volts at full charge, so we have to expect 4.2 * 8 = 33.6 volts from 8s and this leads to 33.6 * 1.800 = 60.480 rpm, just above the motor limit

Bye.

Somewhere here in the forum I read one of Patricks posts that the 1717 is OK on 8s provideing the RPMs are in check, I would inmagine the 1518,1520 would be the same or better since their max RPM is 20K higher.

Just remember two things about that; 1) the voltage will dip under load and 2) that 4.2v value drops pretty fast in less than a minute. Either way, you won't see those rpms for very long, if at all, unless you're running flat out right off the bat.

DrKnow65 12.03.2010 03:51 PM
Brian, I said buggy :-)
Thzero, the motors from the moving sale have no warantee :-)
Bondonutz, yes for the purpose of best efficiency the 1717 is perfect on 8s. The 1520 at 1600kv would be better than the 1518 on 8s. So I should buy 1 of each before the sale is over :-)

And BrianG if you'd have disagreed I would have changed my position, because you are wise :-)

MiamizFinest 12.03.2010 07:04 PM
What a bummer! Just called castle to get my tracking info since the email still hadn't come in.... Turns out even tho the computer sayed shipped turns out it didn't ship and the 1518 is no longer in stock.... Looks like I'm screwed!! Monday I'll find out what we can work out!!! Bummer!!

UPDATED WITH NEW ITEMS ON NOVEMBER 24, 2010

We have a few hundred odds and ends that we rediscovered when we moved our entire operations at the end of July.

These motors are all made to Castle specs in the same factory that makes our best selling car and truck motors. The motors are great, the projects just didn't happen due to any number of reasons.

The motors are sold as is. That means no warranty. Not because we don't trust them, but because they came from limited runs and we simply don't have replacements here to offer for returned products.

JERRY2KONE 12.03.2010 10:15 PM
What was said.
 
That is what was told to all of us right off the bat. THis is why it pays to read an entire thread when you find something that appeals to you. This is also why some of us bought not just one, or two motors. I have three 1717 motors so I have back ups for when issues start popping up. I hope everyone took advantage of these black Friday sale items. It was well owrth it in my opioion. Three 1717 Neu motrs on sale ($56 each) for the regular price of one 1521. Pretty good deal from the view of my wallot.

RCShocker 12.03.2010 10:34 PM
Thanks Bondo, thats good to know. I wasnt really questioning it so much as wanting more info.

But yeah, at $65 compared to Towers $170 it is worth it for me.

coolhandcountry 12.06.2010 08:03 PM
Well I tried to get another motor.
I put an order in for a 1717 motor.
I hope it is not to small for my project.
I figure this motor should run okay on 4s but better on 6s.
Not going for no high speed demon yet.

What ya puttin it into? The 1717 motor is a real powerhouse from all the hype. I mean the motor is almost as big as a Coke can, and has some pretty impressive specs. Unless you are planning to push around a 1:1 car with it I am sure it will live up to whatever R/C you place it in 1/10th, 1/8th, or even 1/5th scale as long as you mate it with a good ESC and batteries.

thzero 12.07.2010 02:25 PM
I bought a 1520 from the sell, and it is labeled on the can as a 1520/1Y 1500kv. Is this right or it is it a 1600kv?

V0RT3X 12.07.2010 02:29 PM
There've been some with wrong engravings. It's 1600kV.

thzero 12.07.2010 02:33 PM
Ah, thats what I was thinking.

That is still up in the air. Got a thread some where about a new RC build.
Probably Ebay allot of stuff for funding.

coolhandcountry 12.11.2010 11:59 AM

As soon as they are able to get through all of the orders and get a good count on our current inventory, the page will be back up, possible with some items removed due to no stock. So orders that were placed later in the sale may not be fulfilled due to lack of stock. We will not know until Dena and Christy are able to get through all of the orders. They are hoping to finish up sometime on Wednesday or Thursday. If your order is not capable of being fulfilled due to lack of inventory, the sales department will contact you as soon as possible.

Thank you for you patience and understanding.

Did the additional code ever come back up? Or is it long gone? I was looking at some motors for my trex 500 and 600 and it seems like they are in stock? thanks

MiamizFinest 12.14.2010 02:30 PM
WHEN THE HELL IS THE UPS GUY GOING TO GET HERE!!!!!!

I CANT WAIT ANYMORE!!!! LOL j/k!

V0RT3X 12.17.2010 10:53 AM
Any EU guys wanna trade a 1515 for a 1520?

The 1520 I have now will be too much for the stock length Savage.

Nice!
I saw it on some board with this picture:

and I see you even sold one on ebay it seems
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_500wt_1156


do you still sell kits? now or in the future?

JERRY2KONE 12.17.2010 09:25 PM
Nice truck.
 
Nice looking setup. Well I recieved two 1717 motors in the mail yesterday from CC, and I have one more coming in Monday or Tuesday from a personal sale. So now I will have three of them in case I have any critical failures. Of course we are packing up for our move, so it will be a few months until I get to play with any of our R/C toys. Next year should be a fun time in The Hill house where R/C is concerned.

Riko 12.18.2010 05:05 AM
What set up, from who?

toplakd 12.18.2010 05:42 AM
Hi.

Yes, the Conversion kits are already available, but my e-shop is still offline :(
