Post your Castle 1717 setup here!

[Shonen]

I stuck one in my E-Revo.





It was rather difficult to fit. It required shaving a lot off the rear shock mount, and I also had to shim the transmission up with washers on the chassis so the 23t pinion could mesh with the 38t spur...the 36t spur causes more problems than it's worth, if you have a 25 or 26t pinion it will probably be ok. I also lapped the motor mount face to improve heat transfer but also move the motor as forward as possible, even if it was a miniscule amount.

Having ran my 1515 on 4s, the 1717's lower Kv makes the E-Revo a lot slower than I was used to, but much much more torquey, with less startup cogging (usually none). The 40mm fan on the motor mount keeps the temps way down...I doubt this motor ever saw higher than 120F. After most of our bashing/jumping sessions, it's barely over 100F. Currently running it on twin 4s 4500mAh Nano-Techs.
