Castle Creations 4-Pole Sensored Brushless Motor for Enthusiasts - 1717-1650kV, Green

In all applications, drivers expect clean starts as they come off the assembly line. Crawler fans need high-precision, low-speed control and torque for climbing, while racers demand both accuracy and predictability. Conversely, dragsters cannot afford to lose even a millisecond. To meet these diverse performance requirements, we have combined rotor position sensor technology with our enhanced high-power motor design that boasts high efficiency.

Thanks to our sensors, the ESC continuously knows the rotor’s position, thereby eliminating cogging and any inconsistencies that could occur during startup. Consequently, users will experience not only precise throttle control but also impressively smooth starts. Moreover, our motors provide raw power and extended runtimes, a testament to their high efficiency. The outcome is a motor that stands out in terms of quality, performance, and reliability—aligning with our brand's promise of excellence.

The 1717-1650Kv motor is an ideal upgrade for 1/6 scale vehicles weighing up to 20 lbs and capable of running on 8s LiPo batteries. It's also a fantastic choice for those seeking a dependable, high-torque motor for their 1/8 scale vehicles powered by 8s. The integrity of the rotor is ensured by using high-strength, high-temperature grade neodymium sintered magnets alongside a durable Kevlar wrap, making it resilient during extreme running conditions.

Our proprietary winding techniques allow us to create a stator assembly that minimizes resistance, which not only helps in keeping the motor cooler during operation but also extends its lifespan. Additionally, oversized NMB bearings paired with a vibration dampening system are designed to maximize bearing longevity.

The motor is equipped with high-quality, high-current 6.5mm male Castle Bullet Connectors linked to ultra-high strand count 10-gauge wire, which is replaceable and includes a 210mm sensored wire length.

Designed to excel in 1/6 scale vehicles weighing up to 20 lbs and operating on 6s to 8s LiPo systems, the 1717-1650Kv motor also serves as a premium upgrade for drivers looking for a robust and high-torque motor for 1/8 scale models. Notable examples of vehicles compatible with this motor include the Losi LST2-E and various models from Traxxas such as the E-Maxx, E-Revo, UDR, and Summit, as well as the Redcat Shredder.

Please note: These recommendations are based on vehicle weight and motor specifications. It’s essential to verify motor fitment, which may require an optional motor mount for proper installation.
