Castle Motors ??

Interesting, did not know that.......

If this class structure makes it into the National rules... it will have certainly been done the "right" way... WELL tested at the club level!!

My Word..........!

What a Monster.............just got my 1717 in...........the sheer size and weight of it is truly impressive.........makes my Feigao 580L feel light.............and small........especially with its can fins.

That nickel looks like a Quarter!

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

There are no official NAMBA Spec Classes... The Spec (Limited) classes are only club level classes.


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

I have two of those 1520's on their way, I would like to see the 1717 next to that big Leopard

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]

That's a sweet looking mono!

[JMSCARD]

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]

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
