Also, thanks for playing the 12 days of Christmas giveaway. I scored some good swag.

You'll be happy to hear we received the 1410 and 1415 sensored motors yesterday. They are currently running batch testing to verify they're good and we should start shipping motor only backorders to end users today!

A 1410 is too small for a bomber

I picked up a 2650 to run on 4s in mine, it should be "entertaining"

[whitrzac]

My 2 new 1512 motors came today.



What's the first thing we all do when something shiny and new comes? Take it apart of course

Now for the nekid pics

The sensor assembly is interesting...








I don't think the back was suppose to come off, it has epoxy on it, but didn't put up much of a fight. If so, castle needs to use better glue.

Yea...not intended to come off, but you seem to have managed just fine.

Mmm, look at all that copper on the motor terminals. No losses there! And check out that double silicone conformal coating on the sensor board!

Now put it back together, slap it in a car, beat the snot out of it and let us know how it runs!

Nah, the 1410 will be just fine in the Bomber. I did think about grabbing a 1512-2650 since those are readily available right now...

Are there any plans for lower KV 1406 motors? 2500kv, 3500kv, etc?

Currently testing three different 1406 motors, 1900kv, 2280kv and 2850kv.

I got to play with the 2850kv running 2s on a fully hopped up Axial AX10 with rear steer using a Mamba X. Ohh boy, what a beast!

Hemistorm made mention of testing other kv's in his videos in the Havasupai.

[nitrostarter]

Thanks Thomas! Looking forward to it!!

Pumped, UPS will be here Wednesday with the 1410

Patrick, any leaky info on the which kv's are coming in the 1406 model yet? I know we talked about it here and I saw a pic of Hemistorm running a 1900kv.

Nothing "official" yet, but there are several Kv's we are testing from 1900-3800 in the 1406.

Thanks!

Come on Patrick, there's 1900 different options in that range

True. Here's a hint:

The 1406-4600 is a 1 turn motor

The 1406-1900 is a 2.5 turn motor

Since kv is inversely proportional to turn count:
1/4600=217.39uKvT
1/1900=210.53uKvT

Average=213.96uKvT

(The change in uKvT is probably not truly linear, but for simplicity I will assume so since I only have two values to extrapolate from.)

Therefore, a 1.5T should be around 3100kv, and 2T should be around 2300kv?

1/(213.96u*1.5T)=3100kv @ 1.5T
1/(213.96u*2T)=2300kv @ 2T

Yeah, I was bored.
