Start a new thread WANTED: Neu 1717 motor and see who bites. I have already had two people asking me if I wanted their orders, because they changed their minds about the porject they were getting them for. So there are motors out there for the taking. Some ordered these motors just because of the price not realizing how big they really are or what they were going to use them in. Don't give up. No I am not selling my order, or the extra 1717 motors I just picked up through resale posts. I have six SuperMaxx trucks & our boys each have one, and we plan to use them on one or two of our projects. Good luck with that. CC just dumpped a ton of these motors out there and I would be wiling to bet that most of them will not get used by the original owners. I guess Xmas came early for CC. Way to go CC. Now you have $$$$ for the next phase of your on going projects for 2011. NICE!!!!

What did you order Coolhand?

The website is still showing the 1717's in stock.

[coolhandcountry]

I ordered a 1518.
Didn't want a 1717 for what I had in plan.

I've just got to brag about their service. I sent a V2 ESC back because it went up in flames on Saturday. No receipt because I bought the ESC from RC-Monster several moons ago. I was expecting to pay $70 for repairs. It's on it's way back to me fixed or replaced free of charge.

Thank You Castle Creations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Castle Creations!!! My 1518, one of the lucky 40 it seems :-)

Can't wait to pick up a Mamba XL HV and plug this bad boy in!

[thzero]

Why? XL is rather expensive, like double the cost, the Mamba Monster will handle that motor more than fine! About the only thing you get with the XL, since that motor has a 6S limitation, is the data logging.

8s is perfect for the 1518 (1800kv x 29.6v = 53,280rpm without a load) IMHO. The datalogging and 5amp BEC should do my buggy right as well :-)

Did you say buggy Or did you mean muggy

[thzero]

I'm pretty sure you will void the warranty; after all the 1515, 1518, 1520 and 1717 are all stated by CC to have a max input of 25.2V.

And for the most part I've seen that the sweet spot with these motors are about 30-40k.

Somewhere here in the forum I read one of Patricks posts that the 1717 is OK on 8s provideing the RPMs are in check, I would inmagine the 1518,1520 would be the same or better since their max RPM is 20K higher.

Yes, but a Lipo cell is about 4.2 volts at full charge, so we have to expect 4.2 * 8 = 33.6 volts from 8s and this leads to 33.6 * 1.800 = 60.480 rpm, just above the motor limit

Bye.

Just remember two things about that; 1) the voltage will dip under load and 2) that 4.2v value drops pretty fast in less than a minute. Either way, you won't see those rpms for very long, if at all, unless you're running flat out right off the bat.

I was bummed that I didn't have funds availible for the Black sale but I did scoop up a pair of 1512's this AM.
