My motors left customs today (only 3 days this time!) and should be delivered to me tomorrow if everything runs as it should.
Wish me luck boys!

Wow what a sale. I've been out of the hobby for a while since I burned up all my motors. This is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Time to dust off the trucks and buggies.

Can I put the 1717 in a 1/5 scale on-road? It is relatively light and only 2wd.

BTW, can I run the 1717 on 8s? It seems I should only run it on 6S.

45k RPM max with the 1717, 8S would be better with the 1520 maybe, but with low gearing.

I have one of those on my toothbrush-less I think

The 1717 is pretty big to a 1/10 motor. But that outrunner is a like the size of my oil filter.

Here is my comparison

Just received an email from Thomas that the motors were processed and shipped on 15 Oct 2010. That's great. However, I'll be receiving an air version of the 1717 instead of a car version.

Thomas, I replied your email. Thanks a lot for your help.

+1 on that. I recieved 2 x 1520's toay. Looks awesome.

Thanks for a great deal Castle.

Nard Cox · 10.22.2010, 06:48 AM

Just got my replacement rotor/shaft! Thanks Castle!

George16 · 10.26.2010, 09:35 PM

Just got an email from my wife that there is a package from Kansas waiting for me when I get home in Japan.

Kudos goes to the Castle team and more specifically to Thomas. Thank you very much.

Got my 1518 today, perfect fit in my F8T, just enough room. Thing is going to rock.

Just had to get a 1717... Can't wait to try it in my Losi XXL!

EDIT: received a shipping confirmation early this morning(day after) so thanks castle!!!

The last month I placed 1 order for a 1520 and 1717 heli and received:
Day 1: 1520 / 1717 heli
Day 1 (other package) : 1717 heli
Day 8: 1520 and 1717 heli
No idea why I received the other three motors. I checked my credit card and CC did reduct money for these motors, though I never ordered these. No problem though, I will just sell them over here, will probably make some money off of them. To much trouble for everyone to go and send motors back and forth.

I've recently put the 1520 in my Flux XL on 4S and it was ''okay'' just waiting on 5S LiPo's to come in stock so I can see what this motor can really do.

Thanks CC, awesome products and awesome CS!

p.s. oyeah, will be sending in a MMM for warranty repair pretty soon :(.

Why not just send back the motors? I'm sure CC would provide you with a prepaid postage. They are too good to us to not do the right thing by them. At least give them the opportunity.

It's simple:
1. I don't want to have the extra trouble, (nor does CC)
2. Castle didn't calculate shipping costs, so I got the motor pretty cheap, hence I can ''earn'' money selling them. There are several people I know who wanted a motor but didn't had a credit card of similar, I will sell them a motor for a very fair price

I'm 100% sure CC would take them back if I would ask them.

The right thing to do is to ask them. I surprised no one else has chimed in on this. It was a mistake that you received the extra motors. You shouldn't be profiting from it.

I can speak from first hand experience that CC has excellent customer service that typically extends past what they would legally be responsible to provide. For example, replacing a part part even though the warranty has expired. They deserve the opportunity to receive back the merchandise they sent you by mistake.

On the other hand, if you do reach out to them and they tell you to not worry about it, then no harm done.
