It's official! Castle have lost the plot (in a good way)

[Dagger Thrasher]

I can see these being used a LOT in the 2-cell class for the International Speed Challenge this year, but for uses other than that, I'm not sure. I guess Castle just like being a tad crazy. If your cells can take the pain, then it's gonna be fun to try out at any rate IMO.

9000kv...dont understand why cc built this motora 6900kv or a 7700kv correctly geared is enough...

[johnrobholmes]

They built it because they could I reckon.

I agree that something around 3k kv would be more useful.

[e-mike]

so its to much kv for any off road application

[lutach]

This is too funny .

I think that motors with large KV like this are made for 1/12 scale since they only run on like 4 - 5 cell Nimh

3s lipo and low gearing would make for an interesting speed car. My tt-01 has limited gearing options, so high revving motor would be nice. And I have a MM and a 5000 3s 25c neu lipo too... Hmmm may have to give that motor a try. Wonder what they have changed over the old cs 36 motors?

A Sidewinder 4600 on 3S is more than enough for the TT-01 with 22/58 gearing.

To do what? I have currently done 74mph with a feigao 6s motor, 3s lipo and 25/55 gearing. That is the highest gearing I can achieve without making some custom stuff. I would like to see what I can do with the stock motor mount and spur before I get into modding stuff.

To go fast of course. A 9000Kv motor on 2S will require tremendous power to propel the TT-01 to high speeds. The stock spur is not 55, and how did you manage to fit in a 25T pinion with the stock motor mount? I remember I was pressed for clearance when fitting a 22T with the 55T spur.

You can get a 55t spur for the tt-01. The same set of mount holes for the 22/58 fit the 25/55, as the spur is smaller in diamter.

I will stick with the hacker b50 5s (7400kv) on 3s lipo to do my session of runs. Getting cooler out here and everything runs faster in cold weather.

I'v been running my B50 5s with 3s1p in my pan car geared 54/12. Both mm and motor stay cool enough.
