You will be fine. Someone mentioned in the 1717 thread that the 3mm have a very high break force and it's impossible to break them.

But I'll have to drill out my muggy mount for the 1717.

Mike also sells a F motor cover that is tapped for 3mm holes. You can always get one of these and use this for the motor mount screws just in case something ever does strip out.

Yeah if the 1717 uses 4mm that sounds better. But not worried about the screw I mean the aluminum tap in the front endbell...

EDIT: Crap. Well I may tap two holes two 4mm...

I think that 4mm may be a wise move with the 1520, personally.

Anybody know if you get an email with tracking info? I ordered today and got my email receipt but I'm worried I ordered too late. How long does it take them to ship your order?

I ordered a 1512, 1518 and 1520! Insane prices.

I have just placed an order for a 1518 and a repair kit for my 1515. Those prices are crazy. I just hope I am not too late. $65 is just a crazy price for a motor like that. I wanted to place an order for a few more of their motors but I am broke at the moment. It figures that Castle would have a sale when my wallet is almost empty.

Anyway I hope I am not too late and the order goes through.

i ordered my motors on Thursday (first day of sale) and i have still have not received any shipping info or tracking numbers. i got the order confirmation the same day though. oh well, i am patient and for this price, i don't mind waiting a little while for my motors.

for less than the price of spinning toasters (feigaos) we are getting some of the best motors out there. i was so close to buying a 1520 for full price about 3 months ago and i am so glad i decided to wait. i got both of my motors for less than the 1 would have cost.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

I think the motors I bought were on the first shelf next to the table they pack the orders on. Hence why they shipped so fast...

I'd bet most, if not all, of you get your tracking #'s tomorrow. Weekends tend to mess with shipping a bit.

Why did shipping become so much more expensive. I wanted to place an order and need to pay $40 for 2 motors a friend of mine payed $33 for 9 motors and he lives 20km from me ... ???

One quick question about the motors. I recently finished a nitro convertion of a savage and I basically have a stock savage flux with the 2200 motor. I also have a hot bodies Lightining Pro 2 EVO buggy without a motor. I just thought that I could put the 2200 motor on the buggy and get a lower kv motor for the flux, as it is a heavier vehicle (and the prices of the castle motors are very nice right now!). Should I get the 1512 or the 1518 motor? Both are 1800kv, what I'm not sure about is the 1.5 turn vs 1 turn difference. As additional information, I may change to a XL chassis down the road, but right now the flux will remain mostly stock. Also, I am currently running in 4s with stock gearing, but I have a high speed idler on the mail as I want to gain more top speed.... I believe that with a lower kv motor my top speed will decrease, so a higher count pinion may be necessary. Thanks!
