Upcoming Castle Outrunner Motors
 

Could one of you Castle Guys please post the specs on the new upcoming line of Castle Outrunner motors?

There are some of us outrunner guys around here too ya know? :intello:

Thanks

Aren't they pretty? :yes:

They look pretty serious.

MetalMan definitely wants to try one out.

What's_nitro? does, too. (I love talking about myself in the third person) :mdr: Is that a 34-50-1100 over there? My Berg2.2 would LOVE a couple of those!

those look insane.......:gasp:

What would be a good application for these motors?

I know my park flyer uses one that looks similar to this. I'm sure there are some good airplane applications. Direct drive for props so you dont need any gears to crunch under all that brushless power. I'm sure you could use one in a truck application that is direct drive also (no tranny). Lots of cool stuff.

Thats about the motor I would like to see. If it can outperform my hobbycity motor in my crt .5 these might be worth looking into.

wait til you see the 90mm outrunners....

34mm diameter motors shown in the picture above, we are also doing 22mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, and 90mm.

And they significantly out perform other outrunners on the market today.

Great stuff coming....

Can you give a price range? Specifically for the 34mm diameter 1100kv motor?

Care to declassify any other specs? :whistle: Power handling, lamination thickness, magnet grade, etc. ??

im sure if we use them in a buggy or car they will void the warrenty just like if we use the hv110

So the 22mm and the 34mm dimensions in the picture refer to the length of the stator/magnets? correct?

Do these have 25mm spacing on the mounting bolts just like a standard 550 mount?

What size motor shaft?

Will 1 of these work in a SC8E?

Similar to all Castle motors -- .20mm laminations, M19 grade or better, magnet grades will vary depending on application, but we will use the best quality magnets available, Power handling better than any other outrunners that are similar in size (we were pushing some 30mm motors above 1000 watts burst this weekend...)

Sweet. Thanks!

Do you have any specific dates for the release of these motors? Any chance of them coming out this month?

So these outrunners are designed for air applications? any possibility or advantage to use them in surface models?

Those things look sweet! Castle sure is staying busy!

These can be used anywhere. You can search direct drive outrunner setups and find some good ones. I have an outrunner in my crt .5.

Well, the issue with using an outrunner in surface applications is that the motors are very open -- easy to get sand, dirt, metal shavings, etc. into the motor. If you are using them in an application where it is a relatively "clean" application, you can use an outrunner. Otherwise, it's best to use an inrunner, which is much more sealed to the environment.

I would guess if you put some screen or mesh of some sort over all the holes then that should protect the motor enough. I don't have any cover on mine and I don't plan on putting any cover on. With the motor spinning the rock would have a tough time getting in there. Besides, if the motor does get ruined, it would be an excuse to get a castle outrunner. I would definately put mesh on that. I doubt warrenty would cover that.

Like you really need an excuse. :lol:

Do these motors have a 5mm shaft and 25mm bolt spacing?

I've ran alot of different "land vehicle" outrunner setups and I've never had a motor fail because of debris.

With the E maxx and the E Revo, the motor sits toward the front of the platform and in the middle. It seems to be pretty protected there from UFO's.

I can see how some setups would be more at risk. Such as being low, in the back and center. That's like dirt central.

The 30mm and 34mm motors do have 5mm shaft and 25mm bolt spacing. The larger motors have 6mm or 8mm shafts, and the smaller motors (22mm) have 3.2mm shaft.

One of the issues with outrunners is that the magnets are hanging way out -- they tend to collect stuff we would never think they would pick up... there are literally billions of little iron filings in streets and alleys everywhere (shed from cars...)

Hoping the pricing will be less than Axi.

I have a feeling that CC will target the axi for peformance, and most likely price their lower than axi. I have to say that axi motors have always impressed me.

Hey Patrick... Any chance of a crawler specific outrunner, 1/8 shaft, 25mm spacing, 2822-26 specs and 1100kv? Maybe with a sensor wire and a special esc? (man, I am askin way too much, huh!)

I hope it is well under 100 dollars... the motor I have now costs 30 bucks so anything over 50 will seem expensive.:lol:

Here is a picture of my crt .5. It would look great with a nice looking CC outrunner in it, wouldn't it? I need about the same specs as linc's... I don't know the stator measurements, but ~1100kv, 25mm spacing, ~36mm OD, and a 5mm shaft. Is that around 2822-26?

That's why your outrunner still survives, I toasted mine(Align 600L) in my 8ight-T after I covered all the vent holes to keep the inside clean. Outrunners' coil seems having really hard time getting heat out.--- they fit open air use only.

I think a fan attachment like the the new Medisa motors are coming out with would be a good addition to any outrunner. I'd sure get one. I think some axi motors come with a fan on them?

How much voltage can you run through outrunners in general? Can you stick 10S on a ~800Kv outrunner? This is all new stuff for me.

The max RPM will greatly depend on the diameter of the motor. However, many 800kv motors won't be able to cope with more than probably 6s.

Wow. Thanks MetalMan. Looks like I will be staying with inrunners then.

you buy the fans separately, I'm not sure if any come with them. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...SM&C=GHZ&V=AXS

If you can provide the proper gearing, the outrunner motors will provide the torque.

Those fans are designed for AXI outrunner motors.

They won't fit Castle motors.

Yes! Very True! :yes::intello:

For Example:

Notice BIG GEARS

Now Watch it go

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t..._Produce_2.jpg

This is an E maxx powered by an AXI 2826/8 outrunner motor using 22/40 Mod 1 gearing. Not every motor can pull gearing like this and run cool.

It's not huge on top end but it's fun and efficient. This makes for longer run times. Great Mild Setup. Very Dependable.

The stator size is 28mm in diameter X 26mm long. Stator Size has a huge impact on overall performance. I'm thinking Castle did their homework on this one. :yes:

You know what would be great? I'd like to see an adapter that would let you use a spur gear as your pinion gear. Look at the picture above. Drill out a couple holes in that pinion and then you could screw the spur onto it.

Anyone think this would be a useful item?

That's a good idea. It would be cheaper than buying a few 26+ teeth steel pinions.
