If anyone knows that guy, I'd like to ask him a couple questions.

I have run my Neu 1515 1Y and Castle 1515 1Y back to back on the same boat and no difference in top speed. I have a 1512 & 1520 Castles also and like Neu's they are great motors and yet to fail me. I have a box of toasted motors, Leopards, Tacon, TP's and other cheapies. Given the same kv and watts, size, I might give the Castles an edge in acceleration over the Neu's. JMO. Going to time trials in the fall and Castles will be on the boats.

I torture tested a Castle 1515 1Y 2200 ( Finned Green Motor ) All last summer in my MC on 6S. It would run mid 70's with an M445 prop. Max, 3 minute run times. It has well over 50 runs on it. I'll be giving it a break this season. Want to try a couple of good quailty 2S Packs and maybe a 5S set up.Motley Crew, Neu-Castle 1515 1Y 2200, 22 Volts, 180A ESC, Custom Motor Mount, .187 drive cable. Aero mod.

Impressive. I have that same setup in my rivercat. I also have a 545 prop too. Nice to know the rivercat is capable of those speeds.Originally posted by turbomania View Post32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

It was all about Aero once i got it into the mid 50's, Had to break up the wing effect to keep it on the water. I did the wiper blade trick i found on here.Originally posted by kfxguy View Post
This set up would no way survive any kind of organized racing, it's a play on my lake set up, with what i had laying around. A 70 mph blow over with a MC is not good at all.
I have been looking for a rivercat hull to replace the cracked, glued, epoxied and taped MC hull...lolMotley Crew, Neu-Castle 1515 1Y 2200, 22 Volts, 180A ESC, Custom Motor Mount, .187 drive cable. Aero mod.
