Castle Neu Motor winds

[Pdelcast]

Forgot to mention

All of the Castle/Neu motors will be Y winds. We decided to optimize the magnet for the Y wind, and not use a compromise to allow both Y and D winds.

Y winds are a little tiny bit more efficient than D winds.

I'm getting well over 200F on a 5700 on 3s in my pede... I need to play with it but I'm geared too high (18/86) - 55MPH+ and the 5700 can't take that on a pede...

Just a question because that would make the buggy motor a 1512/1Y 2,750 whereas I think you mentioned it would be 2600

Just an observation but this also means you have a big jump from 1515/1Y 2,200 to 1515/1.5Y 1,500...

Yeah, that's true - so we are adjusting length to change Kv instead of windings.

We are working right now on a 1518/1Y that has a Kv of about 1800. So we will end up with 2650, 2200, and 1800 Kv motors.

Now THAT is the motor I want in my 1/8 buggy and my emaxx!

That 1518 would be EXACTLY what I'm looking for in my Losi Muggy. Any idea when it is coming out?

[ZippyBasher]

Any Word on the 1518 yet?

[George16]

Wow, more motor choices. Hopefully everything will be ironed out on the MMM so we can maximize the benefit of this ESC/motor combo .

[Arct1k]

Ahh so it is more like a 15-1.25, 1.5, 1.8 all 1Y - Thanks for the insight!

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Any idea on when the 1512 motors are coming?

[SpEEdyBL]

Sounds like Castle is putting a lot of thought into these motors. Maybe I'll just stick with a 1Y after all. I'll probably end up moving up from 4s eventually, lol.

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Well why don't Neu make D and Y winds in the same KV rating? 2.5 D or Y - 3.0 D or Y?

[BrianG]

Because motors can be wound in half turn increments (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, etc) but the kv of a D is 1.73X that of a Y of the same turns.

That 1518 sounds perfect! I want one!

1518 sounds great for an e-revo or other monster truck.. maybe even a truggy .. but for a buggy the 1512 is really ideal.. Anything else and you're just wasting battery power making your runtimes shorter. That's assuming their motors will be comparable to Neu motors...
