Castle 1717

[bruce750i]

I knew Patrick would take care of us. Thanks for the inside info!



Ps. Need any more beta testers?

I noticed that too... I knew it, the scrapped metallover's flaming can and went with the chromed design

Patrick Sending you a Pm with a few questions

What else is revealed in this photo? Whats that rubber coupling device? Dynamometer? And who's arm is that? Anyone we know? I wish my office looked like that.

Home made very high RPM dynamometer.

That's Castle Mike's arm.

Looks like something that bolts into a 1/5 scale chassis...

Pdelcast- are these new 13 series going to be ROAR approved? Castle could really use some ROAR motors to use with the MMP for a perfect system.

I really like how when a picture is posted here, so many people notice and identify every single factor in the pic....

Does the 1717 share same 25mm screw spacing as the 1515-2200KV ? M4 threaded?

Thought I'm going to cancel my plan of buying two 2200s for my 115cm Catamaran, but switch to the coming big boys.

Note the front endbells differ in these two pics, looks more like a heli motor having vent holes. Also the fin shape, it had a flattened area but disapeared in Patrick's pic.

does the site linked actually have the motor shown for sale?

That's the difference between the heli version and the car version. The cuts on the fins are to make the motor slim enough on the heli version to fit between the frame rails on a TRex-600. There are also vent holes in the end-bell on the heli version.

Heli version:



Car version:

So, are these for sale yet, or is that site linked above not real?

Well, the Heli version is for sale.

The car version is now in stock (very limited qty) at Castle, but we don't have packaging for it yet. We'll have it on the website for purchase very soon.

We also have 1512/1.5Y (1800Kv), 1518/1Y (1850Kv), and 1520/1Y (1650Kv) motors in stock now in very limited quantity. But again, the packaging is not available yet, and they won't be available for purchase from dealers until we have more stock available, and packaging is available.

Very exciting stuff there patrick!! Now I will continue the read. lol

Wow, that's really nice to hear! It's nice to have more options other than the 1512 and 1515 1y's. If I had known it was that close to release, I would have waited to get the new motor for my XT8. I ended up getting a Tekin 1700 truggy motor because the kv of the Medusa I was using (2000) was just too high for the gearing options on that truck.

[snellemin]

How about a ziplock bag and some foam for packaging and I'll buy one.
