Hyper 10SC: Neu 1506 or 1409, opinions?

[DrKnow65]

I wasn't going to name names since this is a Castle thread and you SHOULD be ordering from them, but I needed this ASAP for racing so I found a shop with them in stock (cough*Espritmodels*cough) and the shipping realy treated me well :-)

Yes, those are noodle wires coming out of the can, and I can read "castle" on one of them... It's technically a "ducted fan" motor I.e. 1409DF/2Y.

I found a blown out bearing in one of the rear hubs while putting in the hardened CVD shafts and I haven't got a spare so not sure how much data logging I'll get this weekend before the remaining bearing gives out. I'll post up what I do get though.

I love HV and I'm finding that smaller low KV motors and tiny Mah packs are the way to go. Ive also got a 1/10 4wd buggy that's running a Neu 1107/2Y heli motor on 4S 1000mah packs that is WAY fast and very low temp. The buggy ready to race is 2lbs 13oz battery and all :-) Screw ROAR :-)

I think ROAR will never allow the brushless technology to move forward. I don't know who are the people running ROAR, but it seems that they favor only a few and if someone comes out with a technology that is better, ROAR seems to have a problem so they change the rules. That's why F1 right now seems so freaking boring. Going from 1400HP+ turbo 4 cylinders to the V8s they have now seems like they went backwards. They should've implemented better safety rules for the drivers, pit crew and fans, but let the technology of making them go faster prosper. If that had actually been the case, I don't see why an F1 car should only do up to 220MPH (maybe less), they should be over 300MPH or more by now. If CPUs can evolve every 6 or so months, why can't other technology do the same? Well rules and regulations.

I couldn't agree more, Racing, no matter the scale, should be about progression, not equal racing. NASCAR, champ Car, indy car, or F-1 all just spec classes now, includes drag racing as well. I understand limits for sake of equality and standardization, but to limit performance of a particular setup, even if it fits the criteria of the rules, is blasphemous.

Back to the topic, I wish Castle would provide a few motors for those of us who like higher voltage and lower kv

Actually, some CPU's cycle every 2.5 months.
