castle 2028 monster motor

[RIPFENCE]

its here!!! and $300 too..sound expensive huh?!?! but wait a minute it can put out 10hp..which is a little less then the neu 2230 but at over half the cost!!

steven, time to get some water jackets going on this beast..

[johnf]

Nice. That should make them somewhere around 240 shipped @ tower for club members.

[Dangerous_Toys]

Now thats a BEAST!

[Brushless55]

I've been waiting for the listing of this one!
this is the motor for the new 5th scale conversion for the Baja 5B
Castle seems a little slow on how this will work for big FE. I was told (by Castle) it won't work for big FE, but I think it's more than perfect! :hug1:

why would it not work? i guess i do not understand..we have not ever really run motors that were specifically designed for boats anyway..or are you referring to the whole conversion including the esc?

[RIPFENCE]

i think its going to be no different then all the other monster motors that have been awesome in boats!!:rockon2:

[m4a1usr]

Maybe the 2028 has lower rpm limitation? The big Neu's have a 40K rpm limit. Just a thought.

one of the tech guys at Castle told me its way to much kv for a big boat :doh:
it's dead nuts on for us!
great 10s motor, and I want to build a gas Hydro, or gas Rigger FE

i was just thinking about that..i hope its got 40,000

10s on this one is less than 30K

I wouldn`t be very surpriced if you within a short time can buy this motor with a smooth red can, and the name is LBP56113 / xxxxKV :olleyes:

oh hey!
I wonder how much cheaper it could be?

[Alexgar]

i agree but how do we know this isnt castles answer to leopard motor big can 5692

[blackcat26]

What is the kv on this motor? Didn't see it.

[RIPFENCE]

there is no way the leopard 5692 puts out 10 hp..so i think castlke is giving a nice alternative to the neu 2230 at a very good price point in my opinion..joern you may be right about that leopard..56113..anyway the kv is 750 so hopefully we can put 12s lipo to it freaking titanic motor lol:w00t:

[Alexgar]

i wansy saying they are comparable just taking the next step dont you think a 5692 is close to a 1717cc, and castle was just out doing them imo

[RIPFENCE]

i gotcha..whether or not they are responding to anything its still awesome..hopefully we can use it in big boats!!:banana:

[Make-a-Wake]

I'm with Blackcat here...............any kv mentioned anywhere?

[m4a1usr]

Its 780kv. If you look in the black title bar it describes it as "2028-780kv motor specs" Its also a 57mm dia can. Which probably means we will need another new size cooling can. The Leopard wont work. Thats going to be a serious chunk of alum stock before turning!

Duh.........didnt see it.............:tongue_smilie:

[RIPFENCE]

ridiculously huge!! and 780kv is great..i saw 750kv on another forum a long time ago but its obviuosly wrong

[Alexgar]

rip i still want to try a 1518 or 1520 i havent even gotten that far yet and was doing the math and ill need to let 2 or 3 boats go to afford new lipos, chargers and hv esc before i step into that league

i have tried the 1515 and the 1717 and they have been great..and yes this hobby is stupid money..but you gotta pay to play:doh:

[Alexgar]

i have a couple 1515 and 1415 but havent really moved up to the three foot plus range

[Dangerous_Toys]

I have a 51" FG Shovelnose that I still need to build. This motor might be exactly what I am looking for. A 2230 would be nice but this motor really cuts down on building costs leaving more for other things ( like lipos!).

[Brushless55]

i wansy saying they are comparable just taking the next step dont you think a 5692 is close to a 1717cc, and castle was just out doing them imo

I believe they are made by the same company
And this big Castle was first advertised at 750kv about a month ago

[Joern Markset]

Since I am a Leopard dealer I receive some info from time to time, and I`m pretty sure there is a good reason why the Leopard sales agent states that their motors are similar in qualety and performance to the Castle motors... Don`t you agree?

And I also found an interesting statement on another website:
According to Kershaw Designs, the group at Leopard Hobbies has been the secret manufacturer behind a lot of the big names in brushless systems. Now they are taking all of that experience and putting it into their own line of motors. Leopard Hobbies has a large range of brushless motors for all kinds of applications from up to 1/5 scale electrics. Most of the motors are available in multiple Kv ratings so finding a match for your needs shouldn’t be too hard. Check out the Kershaw Designs web site for more info about these motors

Aha, I see. Don`t know him.
Yup, you may be right on that one. Wondering if I should buy a Castle motor and brake it down to see and measure... I mean 300 gallups isn`t that much when you are really curious :rofl:

they are listed at Tower, and with $60 off they are only $240!

[Joern Markset]

Thanks. I will have one when they are in stock ;-)
Looking forward to see what this really is. :thumbup:

[RIPFENCE]

joern and brushless,

i could be wrong but i think that listing on tower hobbies is the mamba xl speed controller and not the motor????:confused:

[m4a1usr]

joern and brushless,

i could be wrong but i think that listing on tower hobbies is the mamba xl speed controller and not the motor????:confused:

I was thinking the same thing after I did a search on tower. The link from tower is listed under speed controllers. Not for brushless motors. When you look for "Castle" products there is nothing for the 2038 motor under brushless motors. I think its too new myself right now but I am more then sure there could very well be a discount off their web site. The biggest question is who wants to build a 12S system to fully utilize the power of the motor. 12S speedos are on the top end for my pocket book although the MGM 400 is probably my next HV speedo for 2011.

John

[RIPFENCE]

i agree that 12s is the way to get the most out of this in a boat application..the rpm limit will determine the fate of this motor in a boat..

[Brushless55]

My bad on the link I posted...
You guys are right its for the esc

[Joern Markset]

I have all the stuff for a 12S boat laying around anyway, such as a 2230, 200A-HV, lipos, hull and and hardware and so on...
So far it has not been time to build, there is a bunch of boats in my workshop ready to be build. If someone have some sparetime to sell please leave me a message...

I`ll get the motor one way or another anyway :buttrock:

[ray schrauwen]

they are listed at Tower, and with $60 off they are only $240!
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAPNT&P=ML

Besides: Castle Creations 1/5 Mamba XL 34V Extreme

If tthis motor was rated at 34Vdc, you could not really run it on 10S safely but, this was an esc....


I heard or saw a pic way back of a Leopard that was 115mm long or so...

I bet Leopard will have one sooner or later. Maybe Hobby King will make it pop up since they just started selling 1/5 scale Baja buggies.

[Punisher 67]

$240.00 is a hell of a deal for that much motor , and 750 - 780 KV is absolutely in the ball park for a 10 - 12 cell motor . i don't know what the castle dude was thinking

[RIPFENCE]

this is going to be sweet..imagine the possibilities..you can put two in a huge cat!!! for 20hp

John, now it makes sense with all the Leopard bashing..
and who knows, maybe down the block from them or around the corner is the company who makes Leopard
same performance as CC motors, but cheaper

[johnf]

Perhaps. I just see a lot of posts about leopard manufacturing the castle motors, so I thought Patrick's post may be of interest here. Honestly, I hadn't even read the replies until I saw your post.

yeah like every post was bashing Leopard motors..
funny thing. CC is made in the same area (possibly the same block) as leopard motors :doh:

[Alexgar]

havent tried leopard but cc revolutionized the market with there affordable on the shelf at your lhs motor after all thats where i bought it as soon as they came out if leopards are equal great but not in my lhs and after all they are the bar of perfomance wher i start after 1 i bought 2 more online cheaper but if the sell them someone stands behind them and thats what i want hk warrantied hy hv t80 but with alot of time and headache, cc fixed my mm esc in less than 2 weeks ill buy from them, and they sell rebuild kit , what can you say to that top quality and top of the line service, cc you have a life time customer well until i buy real neu products

[johnf]

Maybe some of the castle employees work OT in the leopard factory down the road. Lol

for 3 dollars an hour you have to have 2-3 jobs right???

Guys...call me from now on. I've been out the past month for the birth of my son, but will be back in after the 1st of the year. I'm "the boat guy". I've known for MONTHS that these will be a GREAT motor for large FE boats, and have been discussing it with my sponsored drivers. ;) The kv, size, and weight are perfect. I'll be trying one on 8s first, then 10s when it warms up a bit in a 43" mono, and a 40" hydro. I'll be running Hydra ICE 160's in both so I can datalog and check amps, volts, watts, etc. We'll DEFINITELY need a cooling jacket for this one!

[Alexgar]

well as soon as they come out who is going to pull the trigger first? rummy or jmscard lets put some side action on this

[Dangerous_Toys]

Isnt Castle selling these 2028 already on their site?

[Alexgar]

i thought it was an announcement, way to stay on top of thongs rob

[bedrock]

Joe

hi are these 2028 motors on sale "in stock" now or are they on back order??

Agree with posts - looks like Castle have these in stock ready to be shipped

Regards
Dean

[ray schrauwen]

Pre-order it looks like...

It will be fun trying these when the water is soft here again.

What will be intereating is how the 1717 will compare to the Turnigy 600HK-1400 O/R motor I ran in a Promise 29" cat on 5S2P, x450 D/T thinned prop. I was doing 50mph or better last year in a club Open Cat class. They were 4 year old 25C PolyRc cells.
Motor ran pretty cool at about 120F-130F on a a 60F day. The rest was about the same or less for esc.

I know this is more Kv, 180 to be exact. My first Castle motor.

I might just grab one of those 2028's for future consideration.

HK1400: 3250 watts, 110amps max $30

Castle 1717-1580Kv: 120 amps no watt specs. $70... on sale mind you.:closedeyes:

Should be interesting.:rockon2:

wish it was you I talked with at Castle, cuz the guy I talked with sounded like he knew so much more than me, and this motor in no way would work in big FE on 8s or 10s... what he told me is " it's to much kv for boats"
but I want to try one in this on 8s :banana:

I have two boats that have 2230 NEU,s and building a third with a Lehner 3080/7 . trust me 730 - 780kv is exactly where you want to be for 10 cells

My Sniper will do close to 70 just on ten cells with a 750 kv . the new castle is perfect in that arena

If it runs anything like the smaller motors, it will be a beast. I'll let you know when I get one in my hands (should be today or tomorrow).

I got one of your 5692 mounts coming and was toying with modding it for the 2028. Sound possible or am I ruining a work of art?

John did you want to trade in your 5692 mount for whatever new 2028 mount I come up with and yes it would be awesome if you did send the motor , If not I am sure I will get a hold of one without a problem

Dont want a trade for a newer mount Peter. I have several 5692 motors and if I dont mod the one mount coming its a template if nothing else. You already did the hard part right? But the 2028 is going to be my 1/8th scale build for 2011 most likely. If you saw my work bench with the pile of CC motors you would think I'm nuts. Its all about choices right? Keep an eye out for a PM on Friday or Saturday asking for an address if UPS delivers something. Probably not my luck though!

i already have 5 X 70-72mm props and dont realy fancy the exspence of getting new big props.
would be fun to try for shure.

A 70mm prop I would say would push that motor a little to hard for its liking , I would start with a 55 - 57mm then work my way up .

[video200]

thats just it Punisher. i dont have anything inbetween 47 and 70mm. so i guess it wil have to stay a gasser for the time beeing sinse i cant se my self working up my prop collection 55-67mm at around $60 each s\b and shipped :(

Can I make a suggestion

I have a Neu 2230/1Y powered Sniper and use a Octuro X455/3 with awesome results . I would estimate the 2028 to be close in power

[Make-a-Wake]

Castle specs say 30k rpm's max for the 2028............10s = 32760 @ 4.2v per cell. I guess 10s with voltage dip and load would be high 20's.................

[ray schrauwen]

Since a Sniper 45 is only 5" longer than my 40" DF copy, why would this motor be too much for it on 8 or 10S??

Peter, you mentioned this one time, maybe in this thread or another...?

[Rumdog]

Too much? Nah. The 2215 in my 40" DF mono was perfect.

[Punisher 67]

You know what Ray , I am going to recant my statement maybe it isn't to big but I'll bet its dam close . I have a 1527 DF35 and a DF44.5 with a 2230 which I consider to be the max for those hulls as far as power plants ( my comfort level )

I originally thought the Castle 2028 was the exact same size as the Neu 2230 but in reality it is slightly smaller so maybe it is a good fit . there is only one way to find out and whats to say you have to run it at max output . My Sniper is an awesome sport boat on 6 & 8 cell combo's , and an animal on 10cells and up

Hey my friend if you do please post the build , she will be a gooder

I think it matters on what you will be doing with it. Racing on a course or all out running in a straight line. Many customers email me after reaching their goals with youtube videos of their boats running fast in a straight line, but those boats would never last a minute on a course with prop wash and boat wakes.

[Make-a-Wake]

For anyone wondering, here are the dimensions/specs of a Neu 2230(non finned) vs a 2028, based on Neu's and Castle's charts:

Neu 2230 725kv
Wt: 48 oz
Dia: 2.45 in. - 62mm
Length: 4.7 in. - 119mm
Rm: .TBD
Io @ 10V: TBD
Continuous Wattage: 5000W
Max rpm: 40k
Max Voltage: 55v

Castle 2028 780kv
Wt: 44 oz
Dia: 57mm (w/out fins 53mm, based on 1717 fins)
Length: 113mm
Max rpm: 30k (as listed by Castle)
Max Voltage: 10s(based on max rpm)

The Neu is a bit bigger, 5.3% longer, 14% larger diameter, 8% heavier.

I'm bettin the 2028 is a beast though...........................maybe 80% as powerful???

[Punisher 67]

You know Steven I am really trying to resist the urge but I think I will buy one , I am sure I am going to get mount requests so it only makes sence , maybe later I will figure out what to put it in......LOL Maybe even a 40" boat

[ray schrauwen]

Thank you, thank you and thank you. You guys are great. I might kit on one from Steve later. I have to think about it.

[m4a1usr]

I originally thought the Castle 2028 was the exact same size as the Neu 2230

Dont fret Peter. I did the same thing at first some weeks back and if you compare the Neu data parallel to the CC/Neu you see it more aligns itself with a Neu 2225. They are close, almost a perfect match.

So you boys definately think this motor will overpower a 2215 by a decent margin? I want more power then the 2215 for my sniper... I see steve has these puppies in stock... If you guys think i will be happy with it I am gonna pull the trigger, I have a basically new etti 200HV esc for this to play with (catboi had the etti HV200 in the pt21 I bought from him, with only a 1515y 1y, a little overkill... I replaced it with a hydra 240 now in the pt21 and the etti needs a partner in crime.... lmk gents, steve only has a few left!!!

You know Steven I am really trying to resist the urge but I think I will buy one , I am sure I am going to get mount requests so it only makes sence , maybe later I will figure out what to put it in......LOL Maybe even a 40" boat

I could lend you a 1/8 scale PT hydro to put it in but you would have to do some work lol

Look awsome 10 HP I guess that would be with 12S ? what do you think it would be with 10S,,,, and what would be a suitable ESC,,, for that set up this might be the way to go for my drag cat build thanks chris

For anyone wondering, here are the dimensions/specs of a Neu 2230(non finned) vs a 2028, based on Neu's and Castle's charts:

Neu 2230 725kv
Wt: 48 oz
Dia: 2.45 in. - 62mm
Length: 4.7 in. - 119mm
Rm: .TBD
Io @ 10V: TBD
Continuous Wattage: 5000W
Max rpm: 40k
Max Voltage: 55v

Castle 2028 780kv
Wt: 44 oz
Dia: 57mm (w/out fins 53mm, based on 1717 fins)
Length: 113mm
Max rpm: 30k (as listed by Castle)
Max Voltage: 10s(based on max rpm)

The Neu is a bit bigger, 5.3% longer, 14% larger diameter, 8% heavier.

I'm bettin the 2028 is a beast though...........................maybe 80% as powerful???

thank you :thumbup1:
