How to Stuff Large Castle Motors into an E Revo?

[hescobal]

I haven't had any problems with the screw bending, but I haven't took any large jumps

Also, thanks for the warm welcome =}

OK, anyone have an idea where I can mount the other ESC?



Just kidding!

I'm going to try the 1518 1800kv version first. I'll have to remove that 1520.

I thought it would make for an interesting picture though. LOL

I just fitted the 1518 into my E-Revo and it was easy. Little bit of trimming of the rear shock mount was all it took (and the gearing change).

Here are some pics of the size difference between the 1515 and 1518.

In the E-Revo.

And a close up of the trimmed shock mount.


I am going to stick a 1717 into one of my other revos which should make it interesting. LOL. I am actually working on a transmission plate that would move the motor mount up higher and allow for more gearing options. We'll see how that works out. If it comes up OK I might Ebay a few pieces.

Anyway now I have to buy cars to fit these guys into.

Curse you Castle. Thats more money I have to spend.

Now I wonder where are the HV car ESC from Castle?

Ok, I've had a chance to get a couple of runs in on the 1518 1800kv motor.

Gearing is 24/52 on 4S. According to Brian's Speed Calculator, this is about 40mph.

Power is fed from 2 - 4S 4000mah 20C Turnigy Packs ran parallel.

This motor makes really good power and doesn't break a sweat.

Temps are about 70 degrees outside and I'm sure the motor barely got to 110 degrees. Very efficient! I predict this motor will live a very long time.

It took awhile before any heat could be detected at all. I didn't take it easy on it either.

I must try it on 6S.

Omg there is some serious hardware pr0n in this thread!
