New castle brusless system?

[BrianG]

That 1410 3800kv motor sounds like it will be a popular motor! Fills in the ~3500kv void left by Medusa and will be a really good replacement for the VXL motor...

Would be nice to eventually have a ~4000kv (for 2s) and ~2500kv (for 4s) options.

They sound great 4 pole upgrades to the current 2 pole motors- thinking a decent vxl motor substitute for all the guys looking for better power and temps but similar speeds ( ~3000-3800kv range ).. Currently I suggest either neu 1509s or medusa 50mm motors, but one is $$ and the other is hard to find.

EDIT: and there you go

Patrick what vehicles are you testing them in?

Slash 4x4? Performance?

[phatmonk]

I 2nd the MMP.

[rootar]

im running a novak hv 6.5 with a MMP in my 4x4 right and its great esc never breaks 10 degrees above outside temp and motor runs about the same maybe 5-10 degrees warmer, after 10-15 minutes on the track.

so what diameter is the rotor in these new motors?

Just out of curiosity, are these somewhat waterproof (in comparison to the VXL)??? That's the reason I bought my Slash 4x4's - we get a lot of liquid sunshine up here in the PNW.

Ditto on this, chasing a waterproof jobby for the Summit, as it is my stock ESC / Dewalt Motor pulls the same sort of amps on take off w/ 4s Lipo that the Savage Flux did (130 amps)

Define "waterproof"

I guess able to survive a dunking in fresh water. Much like the VXL, EVX-2 ESC's etc.

Thanks Patrick, I hadn't got one of your newer motors, yet, so wasn't sure if you had the logo on them. can't wait to try these out on my T4

I still run my original 4600 CM36 motor with a MM, runs like a champ 3+ years old

[suicideneil]

I know alot of traxxas forum kiddies would love a waterproof BL esc- a revised MMM case with some well placed grommets ( for wires ) and gaskets ( between case halves and around a revised heatsink design ) would work quite well I reckon- same principle as slapping plastidip around the the base of the heatsink on the old evx2- so long as the heatsink is exposed it can shed heat, the rest of the esc stays in its sealed case...

[nitrostarter]

Waterproof is decent and sometimes nice to have. I would appreciate a WP system....

[crazyjr]

I will not run my rc's when its wet out, even my VXL which was claimed waterproof. So the water proof feature is not important to me

[OptimusV6]

I have to say that running my VXL rustler when its raining is really awesome... the drifts on asphalt are amazing.... the mud flying when off roading is spectacular...

[revo madnesss]

i would absolutely love to see a waterproof version and im 100% sure it will sell like crazy
