Cheaper magnets... :) Kv goes up with lower power magnets.

It is the same screws of the REAR endbell I meant, the front endbell on the NEU-CC 1515/1y has stronger screws longitudinally mounted. I thought you change the system on the 1:10 scale motors for this reason, sorry.
I broke a motor front endbell with this system (ORION 2300Kv 4 poles), but the motor was hold by the front endbell, if in the HPI chassis the motor is mounted with front and rear fixation they should be no problem...

Also, the front end-bell is glued in place, so there shouldn't be any issues. :whistle:

I am very happy with Castle Stuff, but I had a bad experience with one of this lateral screw on my 1520/1Y :

looks like you over tightened it and had the screw head pop off. Could have been a defect in the screw

nuz69 08.12.2010 06:51 PM
It happened when I tried to unscrew it, there is blue loctite in here I think, pretty tough to unscrew it. I will be annoyed when I will have to change the rear bearing next 2 or 3 year :lol:

What is it that limits the 2350 to just 4S then - MMP is 6S rated??

Rated to 4 cells in the Savage -- the 4 cell rating is specific to that application.

From the picture it looks like the Q-base esc has solder tabs on the power input.?

good point -- that is a difference. HPI wanted solder posts on the battery inputs.

Be aware -- those are TORX screws, not hex screws -- if you use a hex driver, you might strip them...

I really like that the Q-base has all solder post connections. I wish the MMP was available in this configuration. It's nice to have the motor solder posts on the MMP 1-cell, but then you give up the fan and internal BEC, and the battery wires are still soldered to the board.

Is there any way to buy the Q-base as a stand-alone item? Contact HPI? Or look at the RC "chop shops" on Ebay?
