Huh? The op is Patrick at castle. I was just posting the thread for the simple fact he is stating the motors aren't the same and just rebadged.

John, now it makes sense with all the Leopard bashing..
and who knows, maybe down the block from them or around the corner is the company who makes Leopard
same performance as CC motors, but cheaper

Perhaps. I just see a lot of posts about leopard manufacturing the castle motors, so I thought Patrick's post may be of interest here. Honestly, I hadn't even read the replies until I saw your post.

yeah like every post was bashing Leopard motors..
funny thing. CC is made in the same area (possibly the same block) as leopard motors

havent tried leopard but cc revolutionized the market with there affordable on the shelf at your lhs motor after all thats where i bought it as soon as they came out if leopards are equal great but not in my lhs and after all they are the bar of perfomance wher i start after 1 i bought 2 more online cheaper but if the sell them someone stands behind them and thats what i want hk warrantied hy hv t80 but with alot of time and headache, cc fixed my mm esc in less than 2 weeks ill buy from them, and they sell rebuild kit , what can you say to that top quality and top of the line service, cc you have a life time customer well until i buy real neu products

Maybe some of the castle employees work OT in the leopard factory down the road. Lol

for 3 dollars an hour you have to have 2-3 jobs right???

[Alexgar]

im gonna have to buy a bigger boat!

[Joe Ford]

I've been waiting for the listing of this one!
this is the motor for the new 5th scale conversion for the Baja 5B
Castle seems a little slow on how this will work for big FE. I was told (by Castle) it won't work for big FE, but I think it's more than perfect!

one of the tech guys at Castle told me its way to much kv for a big boat
it's dead nuts on for us!
great 10s motor, and I want to build a gas Hydro, or gas Rigger FE

Guys...call me from now on. I've been out the past month for the birth of my son, but will be back in after the 1st of the year. I'm "the boat guy". I've known for MONTHS that these will be a GREAT motor for large FE boats, and have been discussing it with my sponsored drivers. The kv, size, and weight are perfect. I'll be trying one on 8s first, then 10s when it warms up a bit in a 43" mono, and a 40" hydro. I'll be running Hydra ICE 160's in both so I can datalog and check amps, volts, watts, etc. We'll DEFINITELY need a cooling jacket for this one!

[Alexgar]

well as soon as they come out who is going to pull the trigger first? rummy or jmscard lets put some side action on this

[Dangerous_Toys]

Isnt Castle selling these 2028 already on their site?

[Alexgar]

i thought it was an announcement, way to stay on top of thongs rob

Joe

hi are these 2028 motors on sale "in stock" now or are they on back order??

Agree with posts - looks like Castle have these in stock ready to be shipped

Regards

Pre-order it looks like...

It will be fun trying these when the water is soft here again.

What will be intereating is how the 1717 will compare to the Turnigy 600HK-1400 O/R motor I ran in a Promise 29" cat on 5S2P, x450 D/T thinned prop. I was doing 50mph or better last year in a club Open Cat class. They were 4 year old 25C PolyRc cells.
Motor ran pretty cool at about 120F-130F on a a 60F day. The rest was about the same or less for esc.

I know this is more Kv, 180 to be exact. My first Castle motor.

I might just grab one of those 2028's for future consideration.

HK1400: 3250 watts, 110amps max $30

Castle 1717-1580Kv: 120 amps no watt specs. $70... on sale mind you.

Should be interesting.

Congrats on the birth of your son!
wish it was you I talked with at Castle, cuz the guy I talked with sounded like he knew so much more than me, and this motor in no way would work in big FE on 8s or 10s... what he told me is " it's to much kv for boats"
but I want to try one in this on 8s
