This is probably the third time I have said this, but a 1512 1.5Y would be nice. Better hurry up before the 1.5Y tekin motor gets the call, but I would much rather have a motor that matches my 2650 in appearance. The 1518 1Y will not be the same, as it will draw more current than a 1512 1.5Y not to mention that it will be quite a bit bigger and heavier.

Are they going to be priced competitively with the cc motors?

Problem with the Tekin motors is they look like the Losi motors only with a slightly different can. Losi motors are crap, I know from experience, two times.

Has there been any thought on a lower KV motor?

There is going to be some stiff competition with Tekin and I would like to still run my Castle equipment. There is a great need for a 2650 size can 1900kv motor!

We are getting ready to offer an 1800Kv 1.5Y motor in the same can as the 2650 -- expect it late July.

Thanx!

Will the 1518-sized motor be available then as well?

I don't have exact dates on the longer motors -- they require new magnets which have a fairly long lead-time.

But I would assume late July time frame is fairly accurate.

OK, Thanks. I'm looking to get one of those to replace the motor in my Muggy.

Haha, thats what I want to here! Sorry tekin!!!

If you could also do 4mm mounting holes right next to the 3mm ones, that would be great as well.

Hmmm -- that's not a bad idea. I'll check into it.
