New blue castle crawler motors

Every brand 17.5 is slightly different so it's hard to know what the kv is. A quick google shows 17.5 can be between 1900kv and 2600kv.
Turn to Kv conversion 540 2 pole motors / several brands - R/C Tech Forums
This is a good example of why we rate our motors by KV rather than turn count. Turn count can be a very arbitrarily thing that doesn't fully determine how fast a motor spins.
On our motors KV doesn't affect minimum RPM very much. Magnet and stator design do. All of the new motors should spin much slower at startup than any 2 pole motor will.

They do actually have a bit of blue tint to them. It's kinda a grey blue. These instagram shots from one of our testers shows the color a little better than our preview shots.

I saw a stack of them on the dock to ship out yesterday. I saw a bigger stack this morning.
I wonder what could be in this box:twisted:
100,000rpm, challenge accepted.
1st up: They are blue; and they are grey.:roll: They look grey from ~5ft away and metallic blue from less.
Time for the nudes
Length comparison vs pro4
I won't have any significant time to do testing until the weekend.

Good luck finding an 11s car controller... Needs 44 volts to hit that RPM.100,000rpm, challenge accepted.
The real question is, do you like the way it looks and does it look good in your car?
Looking forward to your results.

Thats so awesome.
I love the color. I'll probably order one when they are available from RPP. I was hoping they would be there this week since I placed 2 orders, but maybe next week.

You can unsolder the wire and make it any length you want, better that it is long and can shorten it down than short and have to buy new wire. They are 11" right now.
I don't know why more of our marketing about the motors doesn't mention the solder tabs. Engineering was quite proud of them after examining other brand motors that used PCB's or thin tin plated tabs. We made our tabs gold plated copper that has a larger cross sectional area than the wires that solder to them.
Longer is much better than too short! Wires can always be cut. I'm glad Castle did this instead of cutting costs here and making the wires 3" long.
The color is nice - much, much better than the typical Castle green. I am not a fan of green.

In the past there wasn't much good to say about Castle. They are changing.

He has bragged about the AUX wire and the new rock racer mode...

He was the first person to contact me with that idea, but he is also the only person I told on R/C tech that I worked for castle. On my personal account I kept it on the DL, but I contacted him to run some beta software when he was having issues with a firmware version of the Monster X.
So in reality, you could say that it is his fault that I am on here.
