New CC 2028 seems to be out.

http://www.castlecreations.com/products/2028_motor.html

"This motor can easily run in the 10 horsepower range." Quite a statement. This means that it can atleast produce 8000-10.000 watt?

Yup, it's out. I wouldn't doubt their claims, it's heavy and BIG.



I posted more pictures in the Castle 5th scale thread.

Is it only possible to order it from the CC site at the moment? Would like to order somewhere faster..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that identical to the Neu 2230? Same size and weight?

I will be ordering one tomorrow most likely, and run it on 6s til I can afford the Mamba XL. Will it run nicely on 6s? Or should I just wait til I get the Mamba XL? (Won't be that long.)

I ordered from the CC site and through correspondence via E-Mail, got my motor and ESC today and it was shipped yesterday (which was the first batch of shipments I believe). I don't think anywhere else you buy from will be any faster, if you can even find another place right now.

I think you might have had a few too many drinks there paralyzed. 2028 in a Revo? WTF? You had way too many.

What are you planning for a mount? Retrofitting a Baja mount or making your own?

2028 in a Revo? RC Monster yes but surely not RC Lunatics? Or are you talking about the 1717. If you are talking about the 1717 then I have already had that in my Revo and other then it being a power house it's heavy and makes the Revo handle like a drunk on ice. A diff a day was the staple diet of the 1717 in my Revo. With the better diffs in the XXL there is a chance that they might hold but everything 1/8th behind this motor is living on borrowed time.
Running 1518 in my Revo now and couldn't be happier. Now I need to find a home for the 1717. Suggestions???? GST?


Whoops, sorry for derailing the thread. Back to topic. 2028.

Ah, will just order from CC then. Will maybe get the ESC too. But could you tell me if the 2028 is identical to the 2230 or not?

It's not. Is is redesigned by Castle for better Car use I think. I think it puts out the same amount of power as it seems to be VERY similar, just a different case for the most part I believe.

Castle uses the same labelling/ name system for their motors as Neu, so logic dictates that the castle 2028 is gonna be noticeably smaller than the 2230 I'd have thought:

2028 = 2.20" diameter & 4.4" long
2230 = 2.50" diameter & 4.7" long

Didnt take me long to find that info out by comparing the listed specs on the castle website of the neu & neucastle motors...

And both motors fit info my Baja5b Brushless conversion kit :)

That is nice. Will have to order one.

10hp is 7460watts. There is no way you'll be able to put all that power to the ground. Tires would shred.
