C*H*U*D
No idea what I'm doing
This is RCC...who cares about ROAR?!? :mrgreen:
I need a new motor/ESC soon so these have me interested.

People say lots of dumb things on the internet...
You had me until you said ROAR keeps shutting you down because your "products are too good for the rest of the racing market." Please explain.
There is currently no 5mm shaft available for these motors. We are looking to offer rotor replacement/motor rebuild kits this summer in both 3.2mm(1/8th) and 5mm shafts for all 14xx motors.
I don't know of any other slate colored motors coming out soon, but internally the design of these motors is identical to the green motors. All that is different is the winding to make them slower. In one of our test cars we have been running a 1410 3800kv that was geared as low as it would go, and it is one of our best trucks because it has so much torque and the gearing works in advantage for drag brake.
What kv were you looking for in the 1410 size? I have been pushing for a 4000kv 1415 motor, but that is for SCT racing, not crawling.
Now I see why a lot of people flame you on this forumPeople say lots of dumb things on the internet...

They like their two pole high turn count motors even though it's a fairly terrible design. Our sensored motors are more powerful, less expensive to build, and more efficient. They want to keep the playing field level so they don't let our 1/10th scale motors be approved for racing because they are 4 pole and don't fit their standard design.
:lmao: It has nothing to do with Castle being "too good" or better than the competition...They like their two pole high turn count motors even though it's a fairly terrible design.

Reading comprehension is a lost skill... I never said you won't see Castle on the race track. Go to any club event and you'll find Castle powered vehicles. But Castle is not a race oriented company. That is what I said. Don't believe me? Well then maybe you'll believe the Castle rep on this thread that said "that's news to me" in regards to Castle being a racing oriented company.Now I see why a lot of people flame you on this forum
Go to any of ROARs sponsored racing event sites, you will see people with a CASTLE driven Rc. There may not be many, but they are there. Tekin's got a big part of that show...
What do you think "C" means in SCT?
Ohh good catch and great question!if these are cheaper to build, why are they more expensive still than most 2 pole motors?
The 'C' in 'SCT" means "Course" in Short Course Truck. It does not mean Castle. It does not mean race track. It means the RC is like the 1:1 vehicle from which it gets its name. Nice stretch there to try to convey your argument. It didn't work. :lmao:
Maybe we can now get back to the topic at hand which is Castle CRAWLING motors. Or are you going to argue that these motors are endorsed by SORCCA because all of those letters are represented in the name "Castle Creations"? :lmao:
Could one of these New Slate motors be run by a Micro X ESC in a <5lb rig?
....on top of that, if these are cheaper to build, why are they more expensive still than most 2 pole motors?
$54? Funny because their site says $75.06 each. And even so, do you really expect the Castle motor, at half the price, to be as good as a Brood, Holmes, or Tekin? Time will tell...What other 4 pole sensored motors are out, there that are offered in low KV options?
Tekin ROC is $139.
Holmes is $129
Castle is $75.
$54 cheaper than the nearest competition is a huge win.

Castle has literately never made a crappy motor. "thumbsup"
Now I know your full of it.
Which one of my castle motors do you need to see ?
