Home made very high RPM dynamometer.

That's Castle Mike's arm. :lol:

I really like how when a picture is posted here, so many people notice and identify every single factor in the pic.... :lol:

Some sensored 4 pole motors would be very cool. The MMP with a low kv motor could also be packaged as a crawler/low speed setup. Sensored outrunner motors or a hybrid style (think align but better made) motor would be great for anything that needs good low speed control (robotics applications also). As versatile as the MMP is a good selection of motor designs/styles would be very nice! And CC pricing is great too!

The 14 series always seemed like a bad idea, too close to the 15 series, not much benefit.

A 10th scale 4 pole sensored motor? ROAR allows them.

Yea, I'm wanting one as well.

this is what i have been looking for, 1717 is definatly on my list for my heavy ass muggy as well

What about lower kv 1515 size motors like 2.5d size

Does the 1717 share same 25mm screw spacing as the 1515-2200KV ? M4 threaded?

Thought I'm going to cancel my plan of buying two 2200s for my 115cm Catamaran, but switch to the coming big boys.

Note the front endbells differ in these two pics, looks more like a heli motor having vent holes. Also the fin shape, it had a flattened area but disapeared in Patrick's pic.

does the site linked actually have the motor shown for sale?

That's the difference between the heli version and the car version. The cuts on the fins are to make the motor slim enough on the heli version to fit between the frame rails on a TRex-600. There are also vent holes in the end-bell on the heli version.

So, are these for sale yet, or is that site linked above not real?

Well, the Heli version is for sale.

The car version is now in stock (very limited qty) at Castle, but we don't have packaging for it yet. We'll have it on the website for purchase very soon.

We also have 1512/1.5Y (1800Kv), 1518/1Y (1850Kv), and 1520/1Y (1650Kv) motors in stock now in very limited quantity. But again, the packaging is not available yet, and they won't be available for purchase from dealers until we have more stock available, and packaging is available.

Wow, that's really nice to hear! It's nice to have more options other than the 1512 and 1515 1y's. If I had known it was that close to release, I would have waited to get the new motor for my XT8. I ended up getting a Tekin 1700 truggy motor because the kv of the Medusa I was using (2000) was just too high for the gearing options on that truck.

How about a ziplock bag and some foam for packaging and I'll buy one.
