    Default Neu/Castle 1717 water jackets

    Steve,

    Will these be available anytime soon? I am looking at picking up a couple of 1717's motors for my HPR cat. Would like to get the jackets together if possible. Thanks

    On the topic of the Neu/Castle 1717, any ideas when you will get more 6mm to .187" Octura Collets?? Thanks in advance.

    Steve,

    I was wondering if you could hold a couple of the 6mm - .187 couplers for me. As I am waiting for more 1717 jackets to be stocked in the meantime. And I am not sure if you're going to stock more Castle 1717 motors. Would like to have everything shipped together. Thanks in advance.

    I will always try to stock 6mm couplers. Its hard holding things and makes things confusing around the shop, because all the inventory is accounted for stock management.

    Just so everyone with a 1717 or getting one knows, The buggy version of the 1717 motor (the one we use) has a 5mm shaft. The air version, has a 6mm shaft. I did not know that until my buggy 1717's arrived today. Mike

    right one Steven..
    the picture in the add is for a 1520 motor, is this how the jacket will look for the 1717?
    thanks

    I wonder if this would make a Peter Z mount hard to use with this jacket?

    Dangit, didn't even know these came in. If someone has one they don't really have a need for right now I will buy it as I need one to test out an 1/8th scale hydro on 5s2p. Thanks for any help, Mike

    I didn't want to create a new thread, so I resurrected this one.

    Steven,

    Do plan on carrying any more of these 1717 water coolers? I was able to get a couple of the motors on the most recent fire sale at castle. If you’re not, can I have the contact information to order direct?

    Thanks
    Mike
