That measurement is on the end cap, the o.d. of the fins will be quite a bit larger. The 1717 (1.7 diameter rotor) will need to be at least .2 inches larger or about 5mm than a 15 series (1.5 diameter rotor), and more yet if they pack more/larger windings in there.

If it is closer to 45mm (like a kb45) it will fit quite easily...

IDK, My tekno neu 1515 1y/F is 44mm.

man I sure hope it will fit the Muggy RCM motor mount

Because of the 4mm mounting screws we'll need to drill our RC-M mounts to fit the screws but I bet they'll fit fine. I intend to start off with a 14T pinion, we'll see how well it fits.

oh drilling the holes a little bigger=no problemo!

Just ordered my 1518; and now we wait....

Say 1515，the first 15 is the can dia.(w/o fins), not rotor dia. for instance the Neu 15 series has a dia. of 1.53"(39mm). the latter 15 is the rotor magnetic length.

Correct. The endcap is about 0.2mm smaller than the can. With fins added the can gets 1.8mm larger, thats exactly 55.6mm shown on Castle website. It's def a 2025.
I was trying to figure out if my KB45 watercooling jackets fit the 1717 and found this on CC website.

KB45 water jackets fit the 15** CC Neus with a little silicone but I think the 1717 may be too big.

Oops, yeah, neu does use stator size, sorry. I'm used to the lehners that use rotor size. Regardless, it should be still be about .2 in (5mm) larger at minimum.
