So soon already, nice! :)

Slightly off-topic, but is there any chance we'll see back the 1717 motors sold from Castle again, or better: a 1721, 1724, or even a 1921, 1924 sized Castle motor? There seems to be a huge power-gap between your 1515 and the next step up 2028. Any interest in that segment or is it just too much of a niche? I know you used to have longer 15xx cans, but never got why these were discontinued.

It's very possible. We had issues with the 1717 stator design, redesigned it, were pretty happy with it, but was too expensive to build.

Arent the 1717s in the Traxxas X01 designed/build by you to?

Or do you mean that those motors where to expensive?

What, there is something wrong with my XO-1 1717's? Have three of them, they all run great so far.

Alright, thanks; if you ever need test-drivers for those, you can consider me a volunteer! :D

In the quantities we were selling them, they were too expensive.

We do make the XO-1 motor, but the quantities for that motor are high enough to support manufacturing it.

We were only selling around 10-15 per month, and MOQ on anodizing the green can was 1000pcs...

Pdelcast, Whats the possibilities of making a 1/16-1/18th esc with a 6s max limit? I like building low KV, high efficiency setup's. Right now the only one making that style esc, is MGM and they are too expensive for me. I like castle for my 1/10 stuff, but wish a less expensive alternative were available for smaller scales.

For those that say, there isn't a market. I'm sure these buyers, might be interested in a better esc.

Yes that is a 4s setup in that truck

Not too expensive, but size wise it's a nudge too big. Size wise it's smaller than the VXL3m, except slightly taller. But weight wise it's double the weight, 81 grams VS 37 grams

I saw a mmm in a 1/16 revo once.
