Castle moving sale

[phatmonk]

I read earlier in this thread about the 1717 air version being sent for the car 1717.When I ordered my 1717 I added a note to send the car version.My email invoice says air version.I need the longer wires of the car version to reach to my MMM.The KV difference and is no big deal.But these deals are great.And for 70 dollars I am STOKED

[suicideneil]

Bleh, just extend the wires with a tidy butt joint- wont make any difference to current flow etc.

I just got a ransom note in the mail from ParcelFarce; they want £10.60 for VAT & £8 for a clearance fee; just paid that so I should have the motor on tuesday.

[phatmonk]

Splice the wires?I can do that.Hey these motor are a steal at this price I am not complaining.Whats your definition of butt joints.

[suicideneil]

Not the same as Linc's & Harold's, I'll say that much...



I extended my MMM's battery wires to reach the front of the truck where the battery tray is- the join is so neat you wouldnt notice it except for the shrink covering the bare wire.

The air 1717 I recieved has 6mm shaft iirc..

[phatmonk]

I received my 1520 in 3 days from the time I ordered.I live in Iowa though.

[thzero]

I got mine in really short order, manner of a couple of days.

Does anyone make a mod 1 6mm pinion.Just in case my 1717 has a 6mm shaft?

It should be 5mm. But if not, a 6mm drill bit would do the job.

Castle does have the 5mm rotors for the 1717. I'm sure they would swap out, or it would be a minimal charge. I mean you just got a $200+ motor for 70...

Drill out a pinion, Especially a RCM Pinion ?
HAHAHAHAHA, you clearly have no idea how hard "Hardened Steel" is.

I received the correct 1717 motor today. Motor didn't come in the generic brown box as the airplaine motor, but a production box. Now the prepaid return envelope is just way too small to put old motor in. Got to call Monday and ask how they want me to ship it back.

Just cut the label off of the mailer, or photo copy it and tape it to a box.Either way will be fine.

I shoved mine in the bag and sent it, it'll be fine.
