Yep, just talked to Bernie in castle tech support and he confirmed the stator is different.

well there you go, honey i shrunk the 1515! opened her up this morning and sure enough its a mini 15 series motor! no wonder it had so much power and didnt want to get hot, kinda deceiving for its size.

thanks again Patrick, great motor and some great info on it too. I think 4 pole 1/10 scale motors are gonna be the new standard after people see what they are capable of.

Great news! Now just add them to the motor sale. Lol

Can anyone say "VXL killer"?

I have a VXL in my e-jato only because Medusas are pretty scarce nowadays and the only other reasonably-priced easily-obtainable motor with a kv suited for 3-4s lipo was the VXL. Even then, I'm not entirely happy with it. It stays cool but doesn't have the snap I'm used to. The CM36 line has its uses I'm sure, but I bet you'll sell a lot of these 4 pole versions...

Or VXL replacement?

Traxxas already uses the MMM combo in the ERBE and EMBL. I could definitely see them changing the VXL systems to this new Castle motor with a spec ESC. Then they could advertise the Rustler VXL at 80+mph...

Want a medusa? Pm me if you want one.

I think I'll be changing soon.

And so it begins, anyone know if castle is a publicly traded company? Might be the time to buy some stock. I think it's great to see a company coming up with newer better ideas instead of copying or rebadging. Definately speaks volumes about the company in my opinion. Not to mention they are spearheading the "roar" sector of the market which has been long ruled by a select few manufactures. Would love to see castle take over, and with motors like these y'all better watch out ya hear?

I think Brian had it right. VXL KILLER... Either this or the 1410 is replacing the VXL in the FLM Rustler... With 90% Al and Masher 2k's the VXL easily gets to 170*. Plus I really prefer Castle Products.

Patrick, Can you give us the inside scoop on the Winds available? Or just 4600kv to start? I ask because I would prefer something 3000-3500 (or just go 1410?) Good on 3s without winding out the RPMs too much... (~35,000 on 3s)

I just realized that 2s and this is right there at 35k RPM. But I have no 2s!

Pretty sure that they will come in all the same winds as the cm36 series and then the longer 1410 3800 kv.

Yeah, slim is right.

We will be offering a 7700Kv, 6900Kv, 5700Kv and 4600Kv.

(and of course, the 3800Kv 1410 motor...)

Thanx!

Hey Patrick, Will these replace the current offerings in 1/10 scale? Also, can you say if you are looking at a similar motor design for the mini crowd? I'd like to see a 1210 in a 3500 to 4000kv for the mini E-revo

Won't replace -- but will be available as additional combos...

Will first be available in combo with the MMP, and as standalone.

Thanx!
