4068 2560kv for under $50

Hey guys, use this code at HK to get their version of the CC 1512 4s motor for under $50. I just bought four of these for an upcoming build and paid a bit more:

Old news to me, I have a pair for a twin. Need coolers? I'm pretty sure I have them down to look like other machined aluminum ones.

Not a castle clone, Tenshock 6 pole motor clone!

Not a castle clone, Tenshock 6 pole motor clone!Yeah I know, they've been around for a while, just passing on the code to get a few bucks off. I don't know that they are a clone of a tenshock, they might just be the same motor. What I meant by "their version of the 1512" is that they are selling this as an alternative to that motor (even though the castle is a four pole).
I might take you up on the water jackets when the time comes Ray, what are you looking to get out of them (I will need four).

[ray schrauwen]

I'll turn a couple up tomorrow to see how long it takes. Typically if I'm out of the brass nipples I'll sell them drilled & tapped and the USA guys can get the nips from Steve. I'm running low on them and don;t need to place an order for anything yet at OSE.

I'll get on it tomorrow. Maybe $20 delivered...

Thanks Ray. I'm not positive that I will need them yet, so I don't want you to start any work on my account, but I will message you and let you know when/if I need them. Your price is definitely fair. I might just machine some aluminum tubing at work, I just don't know if I'll have the time to mess with finding o-rings, getting the tubing the right size, cutting/machining, ect...I also considered doing carbon fiber ones too, but I decided to use outrunners in the build I am currently starting so the 4068 motors are on hold for now.

have you ran yours yet Ray?
curious to hear what you think of them...

[ray schrauwen]

I can show you how I do it and give you the oring number.

The tubing I start with before machining has the proper ID. I just have to take material off the outside which is simple, then drill & tap.

JUst woke up so, later...

No, I'm a lot of talk and very slow to build.

Part of a mental problem I have while trying to quit Paxil, gosh I hate that stuff.

i have one put it in my E-savage with 4S its a beast...lot of torque.i bought cooling jacket for finned castles neu but it cuts all my o-rings.about 10 o-rings oiled etc....but nothing.
so im going to shave the fins in a friends lathe to fit better..this or an other 40mm jacket..and then run it in my FC cat with 4S and 5S...i will have some eagle tree and gps data...but here in Athens its verry windy with rain this days.so maybe monday i will go to the beach and try it..

fins shaved and very nice fit with leopard 40mm jackets..

Nice but, my lathe is kinda small to do that well. I did it once on a Neu 15151Y but, it was a PITA.
