Linc werent u saying that you were gonna get a 1717 for your muggy? were you gonna make a custom mount or what?

Nah, leaving the 1521 1y neu in the muggy, and plan to put the 1717 in my lst with the tdr mount. Not sure if it will clear the front tranny "foot" but I can always mod the tranny. I may put my other 1521 in the lst and save the 1717 for the 6x6 lst I built. That way the 1527 2y can go in my 5th scale savage with the lt10s esc and 10s 3200 30c lipo. I was going to run a 1521 2y in the 6x6 with 10s, but I only have 1 hv car esc. Now if the big hv ice comes out, well I may have to rethink everything again.

I do have a stretched chassis lst based buggy (using a 1/7th scale buggy body) in the works, that might need the 1717!

wow...sound like ur hands are TIED lol...
Anyway, if (and I mean IF) I decide to go with the 1717, I'll probably need to make a new mount.

You could say that! I sold alot of my "other" rcs to focus on getting the big cool stuff rolling. I have to make aot of parts for these and kinda got worn out with it. Good stuff to fool with in the summer, as my hobby room has AC!

The large diameter of the 1717 will most likely require a custom mount in most applications. Fine with me!

Patric, looks like you put 2025 diameter as the 1717. Is that a pre-introduction?

Urgeoner · 11.30.2009, 08:06 AM

so thats not the correct diameter of the 1717?

rabosi · 11.30.2009, 11:47 AM

I think Himalaya is right. In post #11 Patrick show a caliper measurement for the 2025 to be 53.67mm. I did a rough comparison measurement from the photo on page one and it seems like the diameter for the 1717 is around 45mm (+/- 1 maybe?).

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.

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.

I'm sticking to the 1717 for my Muggy, will get plenty of pics when it arrives and let you guys know what is needed to make it work.

lincpimp · 11.30.2009, 04:49 PM

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

bruce750i · 11.30.2009, 07:07 PM

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

Urgeoner · 11.30.2009, 07:46 PM

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

Unsullied_Spy · 11.30.2009, 07:52 PM

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.

Urgeoner · 11.30.2009, 07:59 PM

oh drilling the holes a little bigger=no problemo!

suicideneil · 11.30.2009, 09:20 PM

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