I has neither.... :rofl:

I really want a 1518... will also need to wait for next month....

1520 ordered :party:

Recieved Tracking info today already, Thanks for the killer prices and fast service as always !

Me, too! Thanks for the shweeeeeet deals Castle! :party:

No tracking yet for me...

No tracking for me either, but two 1518 two 1520 and a 1717 for those prices i can wait a few days. BTW i may order more

Shipping still too HIGH to Europe.

Buy more. Shipping goes from 28$ to 31$ when you add 10 1717's in cart.

Sucks if you buy one 20mm motor.

Idd... I payed $28 shipping to the Netherlands for 9 motors.

OK, I dont want to create a new thread so I am writing here. I have an 1515 2200kv in my emaxx. I calculated that that speed vith my 17t pinion is 53 mph and if would have 1518 1800kv I would need 20t pinion to reach the same speed but with higher gearing I reduce runtime, increase heat on the motor and I think acceleration would be about the same because of the pinion. So can someone tell me why would 1518 be better?:neutral:

It will still have more torque and efficiency, despite the gearing.

Will you use 4S or 6S?

6S

By the way, I really like this forum because I get an answer after 3 minutes!!!!:yipi: It is like chating on Skype

Orders in. Thanks Castle. I used the money order option. I'll be mailing that check in ASAP.

Quick question. It wants me to mail the money order to the 235 South Kansas Ave address. I thought you guys moved?

But what about runtimes? Will there be any difference bettwen 1515 and 1518?

Its not going to change appreciatively either way.


I got my tracking number, but I selected USPS as option, but it sent me a UPS tracking notice!

I hope they don't make me sign for it!

Yes, that's right. We still own 235 Kansas Ave, and the mail and UPS are automatically forwarded. But you should send it to the new address:

Castle Creations
540 N Rogers Rd.
Olathe, KS 66062


I'll let the web people know that the address hasn't been changed in the cart system yet.

Thanx!

Patrick

OMG gonna buy 1 of each.You guys are awesome

Not knowing your entire set up the 1518 would be better than the 2200 on 6s because the RPMs will be way lower and generate less heat and that eqauls more efficiency.

+1, higher efficiency, higher runtimes. Your setup will exactly require same power on a longer motor ;) But it will add you 30 gramms !:lol:

I ordered yesterday, but still don't have confirmation e mail about my credit card charging and order process )-:
I hope they will reserve the motors while still in payment process.
I really want to try the 1520 on my XT8 and the 1518 on my 808 (both of them have the 2200 now)

Their just waiting to see what the limit is on your card so they can send a extra motor to all of us ?

Wow, glad Cory gave me the heads up on this, I was going to sell my 1717... Gues I had better wait till the sale ends!!!

Not unless you want to sell it to me for $45.00 ?
BTW, I did get that 1717 cleaned up after the swim and she works like new.

So I had to buy a 1520. I am broke as hell but still cant pass that up! LOL

SOO 1520 owners, even 1518 owners. do the 3mm front screws cut it? or should they be tapped to 4mm? Its just that I was worried with my 70mm Medusa and now the 1520 is 89mm long...

Another Note to Castle: I had put on in my cart at work and chose Priority and it was ~$5.00 now at home Priority is $9.95? WTF?

You will be fine. Someone mentioned in the 1717 thread that the 3mm have a very high break force and it's impossible to break them.

But I'll have to drill out my muggy mount for the 1717.

1717 is 4mm mount screws @25mm spaceing

Yeah if the 1717 uses 4mm that sounds better. But not worried about the screw I mean the aluminum tap in the front endbell...

EDIT: Crap. Well I may tap two holes two 4mm...

I think that 4mm may be a wise move with the 1520, personally.

Anybody know if you get an email with tracking info? I ordered today and got my email receipt but I'm worried I ordered too late. How long does it take them to ship your order?

I ordered a 1512, 1518 and 1520! Insane prices.

Mine shipped the next day. I got an email with the tracking number.

I have just placed an order for a 1518 and a repair kit for my 1515. Those prices are crazy. I just hope I am not too late. $65 is just a crazy price for a motor like that.:surprised: I wanted to place an order for a few more of their motors but I am broke at the moment. It figures that Castle would have a sale when my wallet is almost empty.

Anyway I hope I am not too late and the order goes through.

i ordered my motors on Thursday (first day of sale) and i have still have not received any shipping info or tracking numbers. i got the order confirmation the same day though. oh well, i am patient and for this price, i don't mind waiting a little while for my motors.

for less than the price of spinning toasters (feigaos) we are getting some of the best motors out there. i was so close to buying a 1520 for full price about 3 months ago and i am so glad i decided to wait. i got both of my motors for less than the 1 would have cost.

im in the same situation... but im sure you are quite busy right now with all the orders... no real rush, thanks

I think the motors I bought were on the first shelf next to the table they pack the orders on. Hence why they shipped so fast... :smile:

I'd bet most, if not all, of you get your tracking #'s tomorrow. Weekends tend to mess with shipping a bit.

Why did shipping become so much more expensive. I wanted to place an order and need to pay $40 for 2 motors a friend of mine payed $33 for 9 motors and he lives 20km from me ... ???

+1

I wanted to order from Holland to and shipping price went up

Why:diablo::diablo::diablo:

Got my 2 motors today!! Thanks Castle!!

One quick question about the motors. I recently finished a nitro convertion of a savage and I basically have a stock savage flux with the 2200 motor. I also have a hot bodies Lightining Pro 2 EVO buggy without a motor. I just thought that I could put the 2200 motor on the buggy and get a lower kv motor for the flux, as it is a heavier vehicle (and the prices of the castle motors are very nice right now!). Should I get the 1512 or the 1518 motor? Both are 1800kv, what I'm not sure about is the 1.5 turn vs 1 turn difference. As additional information, I may change to a XL chassis down the road, but right now the flux will remain mostly stock. Also, I am currently running in 4s with stock gearing, but I have a high speed idler on the mail as I want to gain more top speed.... I believe that with a lower kv motor my top speed will decrease, so a higher count pinion may be necessary. Thanks!

I would go with the 1520 motor myself, but the 1518 will do. The 1512 is one size smaller than your 2200 motor, and would be better suited to a buggy running 5s lipo.

Not sure what the kv is on the 1520 motor, but it must be around 1600kv, which is perfect for 6s lipo.

1520 is 1600kv, I am asking because, the 2200 motor has plenty of torque as it is, and I dont want to buy more lipos right now, so I would have to adjust top speed with gearing (I could maybe get one 3s battery to run in 5s...) So... better to get a 1518 or 1520 and move the 2200kv motor to the buggy, right?

If I may ask, why do you prefer the 1520? Less kv so the motor can run more efficiently? I am just concern about the torque, I have already broken steel cvds with the 2200 motor.
