2217 Sales Question - 03.19.2010, 06:55 PM

Ok, here it is, about a month ago i ordered a castle/neu 2217, it said it would take 8 weeks to build, not that im in a rush or anything, but im just curious what has to be done to these things between when you order one and it arrives at my door? I mean i figured the superheros at castle could twinkle their noses, snap their fingers, or give some motor parts a hard stare and boom a motor is built or does castle build it or neu? Is castle really that backed up? What far away planet did Patrick crash to earth from? Where do the wires on the 2217 come out of the can at? Side or rear? Is it green? Is the Castle plant nuclear powered or anti-matter powered? This is just a few questions i have long wondered about.

We don't build Neu motors, we build Castle/Neu motors.

The Neu motors are built in San Diego, at Steve Neu's facility. The Castle/Neu motors are built under license from Steve Neu at our Chinese facility.

So, your 2217 is being built custom, specifically for you, in San Diego.

The wires exit the rear of the can. It is black, like really really black.

I've never seen anyone twinkle their nose. Must be like when you drink pop too fast, and then someone says something funny, and the pop comes out your nose.

Hard stares work well to get things going on the electronics production line here in Kansas. I'm going to China next week to give the motor production line a good, hard stare.

I come from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse.

Castle is powered by a deuterium/tritium fusion reactor (with lithium/tritium breeding) of my own design. I keep it in my basement hidden under my comic books and baseball cards.

I always thought we were powered by coffee, pizza and solder fumes..maybe that's just the people inside though. And you may want to check the output on that thing Pat. The power went out yesterday and I lost 3 e-mails. But it's okay though, I got paid to rewrite them.

I can testify that the exact opposite is true for Castle/Neu motors right now. Parts of the production floor are clogged with motor boxes stacked head high. I keep wanting to make a fort, but there's simply no room.

And you don't want to be on the receiving end of a stare, you know you're about to have a bad day.

To answer your question about how they are built; slotted motors have to be made by hand, and there is some skill involved. The performance difference between a properly wound motor and a poorly wound motor are staggering. These things take quite a bit of time to build, and labor is expensive, as I'm sure Pat would agree. :)

I forgot to give the reactor a hug yesterday. It needs love. Sorry!

Well, if you need room for storage of those motor, I'll be more than happy to "store" them in a few vehicles here.

Ok i was a bit confused as to where it came from since i ordered it on the CC site, but since Neu builds it ,i hope they actually have the parts instock. Does the waste obitutonium from the reactor get put into your motors in any way? Also yall need the think about putting the dimensions for the 2217,2220, and 2225 on the chart, it could be useful in some way? Also why pic green for your mamba motors? After all the black mamba is more deadly than the green one. A name for your next product; the Death Adder!

No, that's going to be the name for a Castle motor boost device: the Power Adder
