i am seriously considering the cc fan..i do not know if it works well or not though..at least you could use the motor until jackets come in sometime

It's interesting. Knowing the manufacturing costs of these motors (or close to it), they are still making plenty of $$ off of these motors, but are now cashing in on their own name. That won't last forever, so I wonder what they have up their sleeve...

It's still a good deal. These motors are well worth the price, even at $200 each.

The fans don't hold up well on buggies/truggies due to the impact from jumping and crashing. They should do just fine IMO on boat motors though. I have a NIP one I guess I"ll have to give it a try.

The fans arent a bad idea,but who knows if and when Steve will get more water jackets after the whole Castle/dealer thing.

Hes already re-stocked them since then, but they sold out again quickly.

Maybe they want us to build some huge rigs with the incoming 2028!

Looks to me like the equivalent to the leopard 5692, which is already amazingly similar to the castles.

Jackets are not a problem if you dont mind waiting a couple of weeks. They have been in and out of stock since the big castle sale. I'm sure I will keep them as a active product for at least another year or so.

If I eventually build a DF29 or equivalent on 4S...is the 1512 1800KV better or the 1518 1800KV?

Or should I just pony up a couple more bucks and go with a 1515 1Y or a 4074 2200KV?

This is info from Patrick's on the motor dimensions and also for the new Mamba XL speed control.

All motors will work well. The 1512 has an 80 amp rating so you can get away with a 120 amp esc. The 1515 is probably the perfect motor for 4s. But its more than double the cost. I would opt for the 1518 and run it on 4-5s with a t-120. Probably overkill but you won't have any overheating issues and you can always use that combo in another larger hull later. JMO
