That nickel looks like a Quarter!

Got my 1520! Big motor! But still small in comparison to the leopard 5692.

Just ordered one of the 1512 1800KV's and one of the 1518 1800KV's... Perfect motors for 4S. I'm thinking the 1512 would make a nice 1/10th Scale motor...

I ordered the same 2 motors

I ordered one from Steve and one from Castle. I'm pumped. No place to put them, but im pumped lol

If you are talking about scale unlimiteds, i think a little wider choice in motors for namba would be nice. fwiw...

This set of power parameters has nothing to do with the already approved 1/10th rules. You'll have to consult with the members from the 1/10th scale clubs that put those together. I had nothing at all to do with those.

The 1518 is a work horse. 68mph in my 36" tunnel w/ hydra 240lv on 5s2p set up for heat racing. I got 3 of the 1520's and 2 of the 1717's. I think the 1717 will push and 1/8th scale just fine, its just the kv being so high that has me a little nervous. Either way, the price of those motors, you would be crazy not to stock up. You can get the bigger ones, overpower your setups and run a smaller prop to keep temps down. I don't even know what I will use mine on yet! haha, Mike

Great to know!
I have two 1520's and two 1717's coming and nothing to put them in yet

A set of Castle 1520-1600KV will be perfect for a twin setup in the MHZ Mystic medium 114cm, 6S for each combo

I' m interested by a Castle 1717 for a mono hull like MHZ Racemaster 987mm - 38,85", do you think that 6S is sufficient?

**Brushless55** · 10-01-2010, 04:18 PM

That's a sweet looking mono!

**JMSCARD** · 10-01-2010, 05:01 PM

I gots mine too...

I got a 1512, 1518, 1520, and the 1717... one of each... I am gonna overpower my mean machine with the 1717... change out the 9xl in my df29 to the 1512, and I may use the 1518 or the 1520 in my (rumdogs old) phil thomas stealth... as it currently has a 4074 leopard....

The 1512 is the one with the cooling coil on top of the box... its the only one I didn't order a OSE cooling can for... does anyone know if a 1515 cooler will fit or will it be to long?

**Brushless55** · 10-01-2010, 08:35 PM

yeah!

problem is, this is only half what I ordered

the woman at Castle said they made a mistake and will ship the other two by Monday!!
She also told me they are having orders of 300 per day

and they have hired temps to help with the orders

If thats a 2200kv leopard I may be interested in it...Ive got a twin build to do and have one 2200kv leopard sitting here...

It will fit if you notch it for the wire plug coming out of the can. I have one for the 1515 can, but thats been modified that came off a 1512. Worked great. You only need to file a notch about 3/32 deep. You just need to be sure that with the o-rings on the can seals well. Trust me. If it slides over the first o-ring tightly then it is the right size. If it slides over the first o-ring with little resistance the jacket is the wrong size unless you have different size o-rings.

I thought I was getting the hang of this FE but I guess not. I was going to use a 1520 in my 1/10th scale twin wing

1512 I thought it would go in a small boat like a 24". nitro is so much easier

**Brushless55** · 11-21-2010, 10:26 AM

Just a little heads up
Castle is making a Baja Gas to 8s-10s Brushless conversion and with it comes a new CC2228 750kv motor
they don't have pricing on just the motor, but that could be a sweet boat motor for the big ones!

**Alfa Spirit** · 11-24-2010, 01:49 PM

I' ve got my CC 1717, with water jacket What a monster!!
