[forescott]

[Diesel6401]

O NO I'M BROKE, I shouldn't have went xmas shopping for the old lady yesterday

[RIPFENCE]

this is nuts you can buy two powerful motors for a tad over 100.00..awesome!!!!

[LarrysDrifter]

But what about water jackets?Out of stock here-thats what keeps me from buying one or two motors from CC.

i am seriously considering the cc fan..i do not know if it works well or not though..at least you could use the motor until jackets come in sometime

[forescott]

And you thought there was a high demand for water jackets before!!!!

[FighterCat57]

It's interesting. Knowing the manufacturing costs of these motors (or close to it), they are still making plenty of $$ off of these motors, but are now cashing in on their own name. That won't last forever, so I wonder what they have up their sleeve...

[bagedtaco]

damn! i just ordered 1 yesterday!!

It's still a good deal. These motors are well worth the price, even at $200 each.

The fans don't hold up well on buggies/truggies due to the impact from jumping and crashing. They should do just fine IMO on boat motors though. I have a NIP one I guess I"ll have to give it a try.

[LarrysDrifter]

The fans arent a bad idea,but who knows if and when Steve will get more water jackets after the whole Castle/dealer thing.

[forescott]

Hes already re-stocked them since then, but they sold out again quickly.

[Ub Hauled]

I actually handled on of those puppies... like the little "taco bell" dog would say... "I think I need a biggerrr box... or boat!"

[HYDROJERRY]

Looks to me like the equivalent to the leopard 5692, which is already amazingly similar to the castles.

Jackets are not a problem if you dont mind waiting a couple of weeks. They have been in and out of stock since the big castle sale. I'm sure I will keep them as a active product for at least another year or so.

[syncronized77]

If I eventually build a DF29 or equivalent on 4S...is the 1512 1800KV better or the 1518 1800KV?

Or should I just pony up a couple more bucks and go with a 1515 1Y or a 4074 2200KV?

This is info from Patrick's on the motor dimensions and also for the new Mamba XL speed control.

[steveo]

well i bought a 1520 and fan for 15 series and one for my medusa ( 36mm fan), i wanted to get the 1717 as well but had nothing to put it in i just wanted it, so i went with what i needed kind of, will be putting the 1520 in my e-maxx on 4s for now

[RIPFENCE]

i could not resist a 1520 and a 1717 myself just to have in stock for right now!!lol

[mm123521]

All motors will work well. The 1512 has an 80 amp rating so you can get away with a 120 amp esc. The 1515 is probably the perfect motor for 4s. But its more than double the cost. I would opt for the 1518 and run it on 4-5s with a t-120. Probably overkill but you won't have any overheating issues and you can always use that combo in another larger hull later. JMO
