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 ... ???

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.
