Castle 1717 Direct FIT?

[Shaun78]

Is it a good choice or TOO much power? Will it fit with no mods?

[LarrysDrifter]

Too much.

[Brushless55]

the CC1717 does fit, a little snug with the water jacket
almost the same kv as the CC1520 1600kv

[wilsta67]

im fairly sure the shaft will need to be shortened and the collet will need to be drilled out to fit the 6mm shaft the stock motor has a 5mm shaft.
so not a direct fit.

[LarrysDrifter]

The 1717 has a 5mm shaft.

[Diesel6401]

The 1580kv car version has 5mm shaft
The 1500kv air version has 6mm shaft

YES, and I have two of the air motors and thinking I may try them in a twin something :confused2:

Here's something I have been working on. I wanted to use the car verison with a waterjacket on my vanquish hull but quickly found out jackets are very hard to find right now, so I decided to air cool a 1717 car verison.

I removed the rear endbell and drilled cooling holes into the endbell, i replaced the stock CC endbell screws with leopard ones (i like them better, easier to install and remove) I then drilled holes in the front cap of the motor. I made a gasket around the endbell and installed a 12v brushless 40x40x20 computer fan that runs off of a 3s 2200 3c lipo. I attached the fan to the motor and the fan will draw heat away from the motor. I then modded the stock motor mount and allowed a gap between the motor and the motor mount to allow air to be allowed to be pulled threw the motor. I will be using a sr3300t rx with telemetry so I can get live motor temps on my dx3s radio. Haven't tried it yet but hell it's worth a try. If it doesn't work I slap a different motor into it and consider it a $70 learning lesson. So with that being said, a twin 1717 air cooled would be sick! JMO

Very cool idea D!:rockon2:

I'm thinking of trying water injection on a outboard setup :huh:
let the can fill with a constant flow of cool water

[wilsta67]

Too much.

NEVER TO MUCH:thumbup:

[Brushless55]

should be just about perfect!:rockon2:

he never said which one he was asking about i assumed it was the aircraft as you cant buy the car one anymore, and they have the aircraft motors on sale.:hug1:

Looks like they have the Leopard 4082 1500kv in stock as well.

Thanks Kevin I `ve been trying to get this motor for a while I just order and paid for a leopard 4082 / 1500 from kershaw , now just need to wait for it to get here , so i can play with my Spartan . :Praying:

Brushless I got the air CC1717 1500 KV what size prop are you running on yours ? Im also got a T180 , 40c 6s 5000 lipos that i willl be using . :help:

Brushless I got the air CC1717 1500 KV what size prop are you running on yours ? Im also got a T180 , 40c 6s 5000 lipos that i willl be using . :help:

with that motor I would start with a 45mm prop and work your way up to 50mm
and it looks like your going to run 6s2p 10,000mah
lots of amps man :rockon2:
good job!

[mavdriver]

I meant two 3s 5000 in series :doh: oh well i might go with two 6s in parallel but i would need a bigger esc like a hydra 240 or swordfish :laugh:

[Brushless55]

Oh ok, so two 3s 5000mah 40c in series..

running parallel has nothing to do with needing a bigger esc :Peace_Sign:

[mavdriver]

Got it was thinking if i go bigger prop :biggrin:

[Brushless55]

Go can go upto a 50mm prop with this motor on with two 6s 6000mah 40c packs if you want on that esc
But do run a external bec os some sort just for more insurance on the esc..

[mavdriver]

Sounds good will run external bec .

[Diesel6401]

with that motor I would start with a 45mm prop and work your way up to 50mm


Do you think Torque roll would be an issue with that size prop?

[Brushless55]

Do you think Torque roll would be an issue with that size prop?

not much at all with a 45mm but getting to 50mm there could be some?

[mavdriver]

Looks like the hampton 1717 waterjacket doesnt fit correctly on the CC1717 air motor way to loose maybe it needs bigger O rings i also notice the air motor has the each side of can flat not completely round :confused1: is the car motor has fins that are round around the motor ?

[Brushless55]

yeah, the air motor is made for the T-Rex 600
and needs to fit in the chassis

[mavdriver]

so my guess would be is that i need fatter O rings if i want to use the water jacket .

[Brushless55]

yes, give it a shot :thumbup1:
