i think a 1518 for my savage basher would be nice... but myabe ill put my 1520 in the basher, and get a 1717 for my xxl savage and run it on 9s :)

1717 has limited RPM (45K) !!!

thanks for the heads up! i think i will stick with my 1520 then. 1518 can go in my basher.

The 1520 would be best on 8S --

Patrick, any idea when this sale is going to happen?

ah, you beat me to it!:lol: i was going to say the same exact thing and that the new 8s MMM would be perfect for it......whenever it comes out:whistle:

Thanks for the input patrick.... I just want to clear up a few things...

I understand the 1520 motor is rated to 60,000 rpm. I also understand, that even though it is rated to withstand those rpms it is ideal not to run near its limit.

So obviously the motor would prefer 8s as the motor will be rotating at 47,360rpm which is well within the capabilities.
I would also most likely run it on 8s most of the time.

BUT

I will occasionally want to run 9s (most probably just on tarmac for high speed runs) and according to the R/C Calculator, Rpms will be rated at 53,280rpm at 3.7V per cell.... At 4.2V per cell it will be 60,480 rpm....

I know this is right on the limit, but shouldnt these neu motors be able to manage this? I would most definitely have the punch control enabled and most likely use the new software with the traction control.

Should this be ok for occasional 9s runs? I heard of people using 10s with the 1520 on occasion!!!!:surprised: (i wouldnt do this as its not really necessary)

Plus i would not get the 8s ESC, i am going to wait for the 12s ESC... So the 12s ESC should easily be able to handle what ever i throw at it, rather that running on the limit all the time with the 8s esc...

Also partrick....

Could you give us approximate pricing for the 8s and 12 esc when they release?

THANKS

No sales yet? I have cash to spend!!

The 1518 and 1520 are really great motors with a huge ratio power handling/weight, I don't understand why Castle has not sold them in combos with the Mamba Monster.

Good point. I am guessing that they are not making as many of these motors as say the 2200kv, so putting them into combos would be harder...just speculating here

I would be very glad if CC lower the shipping rates!
E.g. +/- 40USD for shipping one 1/18th motor waauuww!!!

We are negotiating with UPS to get better international shipping rates. Hopefully soon.

So is this sale that was mentioned 2 weeks ago ever going to happen?

Sorry -- the responsible parties were in China until recently. Coming RSN.
