Still cool with plenty of power to spare!
The 1717-1650 is truly a blast from the past and the first new 17 Series release in over a decade and our second combo offering for the Mamba Monster X 8S. Higher torque and lower RPM than the 15XX Series, the 1717-1650Kv is a perfect upgrade for heavier 1:8th vehicles and lighter 1:6th vehicles (up to 20 lbs) running up to 8S.
The Castle 1717 1650KV motor now has an IMPROVED 4-POLE 12-SLOT design that boasts exceptional EFFICIENCY and produces LESS HEAT. This motor is a blast from the past with the added benefit of sensored capabilities!
Running modes include Sensored and an ULTRA-EFFICIENT sensorless mode.
High-strength, high-temperature grade neodymium sintered magnets combined with High-strength Kevlar wrap ensures the integrity of the rotor is not compromised during harsh running conditions.
Oversized NMB bearings and vibration dampening system ensure the longest bearing life possible.
Our proprietary winding techniques allow us to produce a stator assembly that is the lowest possible resistance, resulting in a cooler running motor.
Updated modern and sleek design; looks as cool as it performs.
Without a robust and reliable design, efficiency will only go so far. RC enthusiasts love pushing their equipment to the edge. The Castle engineers know this and spared no expense when developing a design that could hold up to the harsh conditions that the RC community will throw at it, resulting in a cooler running motor. A cooler motor has a longer lifetime. Construction of our motor required careful component selection; each verified through internal testing to ensure the HIGHEST EFFICIENCY possible. In the end, the result is a motor with unmatched quality, performance, and reliability. We wouldn’t put our name on anything less.
