Read that. From Castle that tells you what combo of ESC and motors can run under what batteries for the both 2WD and 4WD SC trucks.

The MM works great with a 2650. I am running my 3year old MM and CC 2650kv in the 8ight - 1/8 Buggy. Which is like 9.5 pounds. The Slash 4x4 cant be over 7.5... Go for it. Good Combo :yes:

I am running 4s, and geared to do 47-48mph. The MM works very well with either an external BEC or Reciever pack. If it is getting a bit warm. Add a Fan. :smile:

10 days since I placed my order and still nothing in my Inbox.
I just sent them another email to cancel my order.
I lost the passion to buy the motors.
As always in life we need to pay extra for good service (and good products).

All of you that already got the motors should feel very lucky; you got good product and good service at a very low price.

guess patience is not one of your virtues. its not like this sale is the only thing going on at castle, did you forget they are releasing a new combo this month? not to mention all the other day to day stuff. i would wait a month for one of the motors for the price, has nothing to do with paying extra for service. do you see any other companies passing the savings on to the cust. on overstocked items? if you are thrown a bone no one cares how it tastes. ive been waiting for almost two weeks for a package from castle, am i worried? nope. will it get here? yup. sorry dude your post was kinda a slap in the face for cc in my opinion. sorry the deal didnt work out for you, but its not like you are the only one waiting for motors.

Yep I also received the 6mm shaft air version I actually noted on my order to send the car version and still received the wrong thing.I am bummed.

You could'nt be more patient and save money at the same time ?
You do realize they were bum rushed with orders and had some complications, they can't make everyone happy all at the same time but I'm sure they're really trying. To bad for you..............:no:

If CC only has the 6mm shaft 1717 i can allways buy a 6mm bore pinion.The motor was only 70 bucks.

I do have a lot of patient and I dont mind to wait even a month, I have enough motors in my drawer to backup my entire 1/8 brushless fleet.
My only complain is the lack of communication, I gave them my credit card details w/o any kind of feedback for more then 10 days, for that I have no tolerance.

You could always turn the shaft down to 5mm w/a dremel ? I did, worked great .

Ok dude.. now that you cancelled your order, you're free to pay more than double the price on fleabay for the same motor. Only then you
'll still have to wait 'awhile' for it ti ship to you. Unless you wish to pay to speed that up as well.

Of course, I'm just giving you a hard time... still don't think one should look a gift horse in the mouth. Whatever that means.

Have you tried calling them? Phone support has always seemed to be the best way to go with castle.

What motor did you want? If its a 1518 or a 1520 I can ship you one today for $130. :intello:

I'll just order another one and wait for it to arrive.

I received my order today :party: It was only one motor but I am downunder. On the invoice I noticed Castle are still using my old email. It didn't bother me not having correspondence but now I know why :oops: Have to do something about it :whip:

Many thanks to all of you here for great support and offers .
I think you took my decision too hard.
I made an order (which is not a gift!) and decided to cancel it, thats it.
I have the right to do it as a customer, I think my reason is very good.

I'm not going to lose any $ since I don't really need those motors and I'm not going to order them from any other place.

Also, I do like Castle very much and I think they have great products, they just didn’t prepared well for this sale (no one should be surprised that its a big success).

I agree they weren't really prepared for the amount of orders they got. But It wouldn't have made sense for them to hire extra people and change their ordering system for a sale that is really a favor to us consumers.

I got the first of my orders today. Made it to Korea in just 8 days from ordering. It may be too late to cancel Benji, they probably already shipped them.

I have to apologize for the delays -- we had a software database crash very shortly after starting the sale, and this delayed orders and order entry by almost 8 days while the customer database was reconstructed. :oh:

We are now back up and running.

Thanx!

Patrick

Hey Patrick,
does this mean I have to "remind" your system somehow?
And what do you mean? 8 days oder 8 work days?
Because I'm waiting for an invoice for 11 days now, and 2 days for an answer to my first "reminder-mail".
I'm in absolutely no hurry, just want to know what is happening with my order so I know everything is still in order and that I have an idea when my CC is going to be charged.

You shouldn't have to "remind" the system -- we are just taking a while to get caught up.

If you don't hear anything in the next couple days, give a call to Christy or Dena a call.

cant call as i'm in the uk...

order was made on the 22nd...

order no. 2142-1274-0015

had nothing other than the Order Confirmation....

been waiting 13 days and not had a reply to my email?

Send me a PM with your info (name, address, etc.) and I'll check on it today.

Thanx!

Patrick

Check my PM too please. (1717 exchange)

Hey pat, I've already called and emailed Dena few times and yet still no tracking# or anything to show for it?

order# 2142-2616-1484
Ordered on sept 24.

Patrick: I'm sorry this became a nightmare for you guys over the last 2 weeks. I've said it before, but THANK YOU!! from all of us here for this amazing deal! I thought the Black Friday prices were good, but this takes the cake for sure! A+!!


I think people that haven't received contact or a motor yet are just worried that they paid for something they won't get or CC will run out off, they just want their share of this goodness...

sweet, got my invoice!!!!

x2.

Awesome sale. I know you guys are swamped and working hard to get everything straight and out the door.

A little patience will pay off. CC are top notch people and have gotten overwhelmed by the scale of the sale and response, as well as a couple mixups. If you can, call. They are very helpful and nice and will do their best to get the ordered straightened out. If they ever deserved another pizza party, it would be for this

agreed, thanks so much guys

we know your working hard :) its just alot of money and waiting for awesome items :D

just cant wait to run it ;)

Anyone else not get the pinion they were supposed to? I called and was told it doesn't come with it, but when I ordered it it said it included one, and still says it includes one. I have pinions I can run in my maxx, but running on 4s, with a 1518 and a 14 tooth pinion is god awful slow.

I got them in 1500 series, but not with the 1717 air (surprise! lol)

They aren't that great anyways.

You can have whatever one came with my 1520. Send me a PM.

The 18T included won't be as fast either.

I'm running the same setup on 4s, geared 22/65.

I too could send you the original 18T pinion if wanted.

Thanks guys. I know it's not going to be fast, but it won't be so darn slow with it. It was going to be my, figure out how tall I need to gear, pinion.

Hey Patrick,
I have the same problem (no calling the US-Guys from Germany).
If you could check for my PM too, I would really appreciate it!

Just resolved my 1717 issues Thanks CC you guys are GREAT:}By the way there are alot of motors left to sell.

Got my 1518 today; it nearly dwarfs the Medusa 36-80-2000kv motor, cant wait to drive this thing like a nutter- will check my numbers and gear up a bit too me thinks...

finally got an invoice today...ordered on the 24th

didn't get a shipped email though

MIne came like 2 days later.

Just to know if this sale will last few more days or weeks and the status stock.
Thanks

Fred

Hopefully it doesn't last too much longer, I'm already having enough trouble battling the temptation of buying more stuff I don't really need. I've bought 10 motors so far, lol. About half of those will end up going to other guys on my team though.

Just a heads up. The 1520 is no longer on the motor sale, we have sold out. If you have already placed an order for a 1520, it will be processed. Plenty of the 1512, 1518 and 1717 motor's left. We do have a few 1520's left in reserve just case there are any out of box failures or mispackaged motors.
