Cheap alternative to Castle 2200KV Motor

[suicideneil]

Dont buy the hobbycity motors, I've had 2, and cooked them both- one after only one run.

They are basically even cheaper feigaos in design, they dont handle heavy loads or aggressive driving well at all.

For cheap and good, the best you can do is a Medusa- 80mm 2200kv item is most comparable to an MMM2200kv motor in terms of power and efficiency ( I know Linc said he doesnt like them, but I think thats more to do with comparing them to larger motors; the 80mm is equal to a 1515 neu roughly).

Meh, I would agree that the 80mm is about the same as a 1515. I have been nothing but impressed with the cc 2200 motors, and less than entralled with medusa. The cc motor is the best deal out there for 4 and 5s and even worked very well in a lst...

Do not discount the tekin motors either, they look very nice and are avialbe in a few more winds. The truggy motors should do as well as the cc 2200. I can't wait for the 1518 - on 8s lipo with the upcoming 8s MMM that Patrick has hinted at...

1518... weird, I was just thinking the other day that they need to fill that gap with something, and I thought 1518, lol.

MMM 8s would be nice, they need to do a 10s or 12s MMM.

They are a WIP in Castle... I think the MMpro will be first though.

I have a Losi 1700kv, you can get them here in Germany for approx. 120 USD, which is pretty ok. They're not very popular yet, nevertheless I really like the torque & perfomance of the motor.
