Castle motors Watts?

[graill]

Personally i would ask the manufacturer/distributor of the motors for all specs. White papers should be available on everything, especially high grade electronics/motors.

If manufacturers/distributor remain silent, draw your own conclusions from that. I know i would.

One reason, the problem with posting "real" numbers, other companies will lie to say they have a higher number. This way the results speak for themselves.

NEU motors are built better and their performance is better
run cooler, less wasted amps, and more power

I agree with that and that's what we need to know from personal experience.

[Brushless55]

And I will throw this out there..
If anyone wants to send me a Castle motor and NEU motor of the same size, to do some runs back to back in my MM or big gas KOS I will!

Has any one actually called Castle to ask?

In my opinion, watts are too subjective to be truly measurable. Most brushless outrunner airplane motors just take the max volts the motor will stand by the max amps it will stand, multiply the two and give you watts. Absolutely meaningless. Watts change with battery, prop, etc. In the airplane world, I measure the thrust which is a much truer indication of how the airplane will fly. Then I use a watt meter to make sure I'm not gonna burn up the motor with that prop. With boats, it's much more difficult. Other than an eagle tree system, you can't really know how many amps it is pulling and the prop is often in and out of the water with serious amp spikes going on. I pay attention to not exceed the max amp and max volt ratings for the motor and then check the temps. Works good for me. Too many people want to run 4S on a motor and esc only rated for 3S and then wonder why stuff burns up! Go figure, eh?

All that I know is that mine work excellent, with very little heat.

[sailr]

Yep, and that's all you or anyone should be worried about.

Ryan,
Did you get the pics and tracking number?

I've seen a few threads through the web on just this topic, and the NEU motors are better than the Castle motors..
Castle motors are great, but the better of the two is NEU, they are much more efficient

[Rumdog]

How have people drawn this conclusion? Since my Castle's run very cool, that means they are losing very little power through heat. I'm tempted to get a 1515 neu to compare to my castle/neu.

[ozzie-crawl]

seems to be a lot of "neu,s are better" but haven't seen any evidence to back that up, and if there was i doubt there would be enough in it to see a difference in most setups

[Rumdog]

I agree. I also think that if they weren't up to par that Steve Neu wouldn't be afilliating himself with the motors.
