It's official! Castle have lost the plot (in a good way)

Sunny will be in trouble once I get the hang of drag racing . Watch out Sunny .

Thanks guys! Some of the fastest RC cars on a consistent basis can be found in RC drag racing. I made it to the 2008 IMDRA Worlds semifinals and lost to the eventual TFE winner. 80mph+ in 132' in under 1.6s is the norm for these beasts with the top racers hitting 90mph - 100mph.

Lutach, all I can say is I'd love to line up against you any day. It'll be a blast and the best racer always wins. Fair 'n square.

I have a very keen interest in the CC 9000kV motor for RC drags. Right now I run 7700kV motors on 3S, just like pretty much 75% - 80% of the electric RC drags world. With a good lipo the 9000 should be quick... or at least I hope so.

RC speed maniacs and Castle Creations seem to be a good fit.

Edit: here's a couple of my favorite RC drags videos:

@patrick

this new motor that's between cm36 and a 1512 is it going to be 4 pole and would it be more efficient like the neu based motors you have for the mamba monster combos?

Oh i found a picture of the new cm36 motors and i have to say that the new connectors look the muts nuts.

I wonder has the efficiency of these motors been improved also with these upgrades.

I'll see you in the summer and I'll be more then ready as my drag car isn't so over geared anymore.

Nice. I will be going to the Rockingham, NC IMDRA event next year. Are you gonna be in Texas?

Looks like they have a cover over the windings! If only my Neu had that

[brushlessboy16]

Correct, they do the same thing with there 1/8th scale motors

You should be able to get them from Tower pretty soon.

Or hopefully from RC-Monster. I know I got them pre-ordered pretty early through my distributor, so hopefully FIFO gets them in my hands pretty early for sale as well. :)
I know v3 MMMs are on their way to me as we speak - combos should follow soon? :)

Yep -- 2200s will be in shop next week, and shipping out (hopefully before turkey break!)

2650s should be in the week after turkey break.

(CRAP, sorry mike -- shoulda said ("you will be able to get them from Mike soon!")

[RC-Monster Mike]

Perfect. Thanks, Patrick - I can hardly wait! :)

What about dismountable motor with solder tabs ?
I have read that it's planned that you should be able to have some ROAR allowed motor for 2009 (I mean new rule). But racers didn't like sealed motor,

[whitrzac]

aparently I have one of the "new" style of motors, I can't tell any diffrence in the rotor from my old one, but the bearings are bigger, the stock ones are metal sheilded, but I blew the front bearing so I replaced both of them with new ones.

[Mister-T]

Rotor of a Tekin Redline motor, look badly the same
