You could say that! I sold alot of my "other" rcs to focus on getting the big cool stuff rolling. I have to make aot of parts for these and kinda got worn out with it. Good stuff to fool with in the summer, as my hobby room has AC!

The large diameter of the 1717 will most likely require a custom mount in most applications. Fine with me!

Patric, looks like you put 2025 diameter as the 1717. Is that a pre-introduction? :mdr:

http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/atta...1&d=1259557551

so thats not the correct diameter of the 1717?

I think Himalaya is right. In post #11 Patrick show a caliper measurement for the 2025 to be 53.67mm. I did a rough comparison measurement from the photo on page one and it seems like the diameter for the 1717 is around 45mm (+/- 1 maybe?).

I'm sticking to the 1717 for my Muggy, will get plenty of pics when it arrives and let you guys know what is needed to make it work.

That measurement is on the end cap, the o.d. of the fins will be quite a bit larger. The 1717 (1.7 diameter rotor) will need to be at least .2 inches larger or about 5mm than a 15 series (1.5 diameter rotor), and more yet if they pack more/larger windings in there.

If it is closer to 45mm (like a kb45) it will fit quite easily...

IDK, My tekno neu 1515 1y/F is 44mm.

man I sure hope it will fit the Muggy RCM motor mount

Because of the 4mm mounting screws we'll need to drill our RC-M mounts to fit the screws but I bet they'll fit fine. I intend to start off with a 14T pinion, we'll see how well it fits.

oh drilling the holes a little bigger=no problemo!

Just ordered my 1518; and now we wait....

:yipi:

Say 1515，the first 15 is the can dia.(w/o fins), not rotor dia. for instance the Neu 15 series has a dia. of 1.53"(39mm). the latter 15 is the rotor magnetic length.

Correct. The endcap is about 0.2mm smaller than the can. With fins added the can gets 1.8mm larger, thats exactly 55.6mm shown on Castle website. It's def a 2025.
I was trying to figure out if my KB45 watercooling jackets fit the 1717 and found this on CC website.:whistle:

KB45 water jackets fit the 15** CC Neus with a little silicone but I think the 1717 may be too big.

Oops, yeah, neu does use stator size, sorry. I'm used to the lehners that use rotor size. Regardless, it should be still be about .2 in (5mm) larger at minimum.

So anyone has the 1717 in hand? What's the exact diameter? (w/&w/o fins)

About 46mm diameter. With the fins about 50mm.

So has anyone got the mean motor they ordered?

We need an update with pitchers.

LOL

Pitchers ! ! ! ! ! !
 

Enjoy...

those are some pretty nice pitchers lol
naw but seriously anyone got their motor yet?

Hopefully before christmas.

I ordered a cm 2646 motor with a 1717 as well and several on rctech have gotten their 2646s. I guess the 1717 is not ready or the packaging needed for it is not ready. The confimation email I received said 1 to 2 weeks (that was on 12/3). Should be before Xmas....

I see CC has updated the dimensions info on the 1717. O.D. with fins is 49.95 mm. About 8mm more than their 15 series.

Just got this from CC and there's only one thing I'm expecting from them :party:

Sweet! Hopefully I'll get mine soon, too. I think I ordered mine the day after they were available to order, hopefully not too many people jumped on it....

I got a confirmation as well.

Me too :yipi:

I didn't get anything from Castle, but I just got tracking info from UPS. Next Monday will be a good day, got 2 packages coming in :yipi:

me 3:party:

So when will the 2025 be coming out ? My 1.1m Deep-Vee is waiting for the green monster.

My question is when will these be hitting the big Dealers? IE Tower... I got a birthday coming and I could use this as an excuse for a bigger motor LOL

Right now our quantities are pretty limited on these motors. We should be getting more in late Jan.

Patrick

I got my tracking info yesterday, it says it should show up today. Now how can I leave work to set up my ambush on the UPS guy? Ding Dong.....(Spilt second later, acting all casual like I was just walking by the door when the door bell rang instead of sitting in stealth mode waiting for the sound of the brownie truck) "Hello?"

Wish I had the funds....

Me as well but its only a matter of time before one of those 1520's is mine

The shaft size is also wrong on the chart for the 1717:whip: Somehow they conveniently missed this error, it's 6.0mm! Anyway here are some pics.

Motors look reallll nice, my 1800kver should be coming any day now. BTW sorry about your 1717.

3 motors!!! Santa has been good.

Hmmmm............I wonder if Castle will start carrying the pinions for the 6mm shaft size?

Nobody offers them at a fair price as of yet. :no:

If you use a plastic spur then SDP-SI has 12, 14, 15, 18, 20 tooth 6mm bore Mod1 pinions in carbon steel for $10-18 depending on the gear. These could possibly be hardened and used with steel spur gears...
