Project Mean Machine - Castle 1717 on 6s

[Brushless55]

now you have me thinking of using a CC1717 in my MM
maybe an air motor without a cooler
do you have a support under the end of that big motor?

I just bolted it in. No cooling. No heat either. It's a sport setup, so doesn't get hot... Yet. =)

I'm working on a 1717 air motor mount for the Genesis. Since there are so many out there. No cooling can, just change the tail ring and coupler in the stock setup.

do you have some bigger mounts for the CC1717 motors.. car and air versions?

Hopefully. Time will tell.

Ok, I'm looking for a mount for my PT SS45 for a CC1717 motor

M445 and then m447. I have a feeling that I could run the 450...

An x645 may be a good option as well................

my cc 1717
fins were cleaned

Nice but, I can make coolers for 1717's on my lathe as easy as skinning a motor.

Besides, I think the motor stays cooler with water cooled fins.

Nust have been a pain in the arse to keep the wires held back.

That motor I have to say is waaaay over kil but, what the heck!

I used a T600 1400Kv outrunner in the heavier Phantom cat with an x450 D/T prop on 5S OLD cells. About 55 mph...

I'm trying a Suppo 1970Kv motor in it now on 4S, We'll see if I can turn a nice prop still.

That's kinda the point. Running a motor with plenty of head room, hoping for long and reliable runs.

I'm also going to try one of the 3740 outrunners to see how it does.

Test runs went well... until the prop shaft seized in the strut bushing.

Not sure what happened there, maybe the cable was too tight, I dunno... but it's seized to the strut bushing.




Handles nice, it's a fun little boat. Looks like I'll get a wire drive setup now. The tapered rudder seems to have helped the cornering. It was a bit choppy so I didn't push it.

Try a 452/3 if you really want some fun! That's my new favorite prop for this setup, Hydra 240, NEU 1521 1.5D, 4s2p, .21 sprintcat- same hull as the mean machine. no heat anywhere with this setup.

Jarrett, I would love to see that run!
where abouts do you live?

Sounds like a plan! Think I have a 450/3 so can inch closer to it.

I'm also thinking I'm going to start using the 6s long lipos for 6s2p.

Lookin good Ben!

Hey, your avatar kinda looks like my new boat!

Is this a special paint or a factory paint? I think I've seen it elsewhere, but might have been this boat elsewhere?
