1/8 Sensored Brushless Motor 1717-1650KV (CSE060008100)

1/8 Sensored Brushless Motor 1717-1650KV (CSE060008100)

The 1/8 Sensored Brushless Motor 1717-1650KV is a high-performance 4-pole brushless motor designed for serious RC enthusiasts. With its innovative 12-slot configuration, it delivers exceptional efficiency, minimizing heat generation during operation. This motor is a perfect choice for those looking to upgrade their 1/6th scale vehicles that weigh up to 20 lbs and can handle up to 8s LiPo, as well as for drivers needing a reliable high-torque option for 1/8th scale vehicles.

This motor features SmartSense Sensored running modes alongside an ultra-efficient Sensorless mode, ensuring smooth transitions and optimal performance under various load conditions. Constructed with high-strength, high-temperature neodymium sintered magnets and Kevlar wraps, the rotor maintains its integrity even under harsh conditions. The use of oversized NMB bearings combined with a vibration dampening system ensures longevity and reliability.

The proprietary winding techniques used in the motor create a stator assembly with the lowest possible resistance, leading to a cooler operating temperature. The updated modern design not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also maximizes performance. Quietsense technology shields the sensors from magnetic interference, ensuring synchronization between the motor and ESC. The inclusion of a Flux Shield and secondary Sense Magnets enhances precision and efficiency during startups.

This motor is engineered to withstand the rigors of RC racing, providing unmatched quality and reliability. Castle engineers have meticulously developed this motor to handle the passionate driving styles of RC enthusiasts, knowing that a cooler motor translates to a longer lifespan. When paired with a Castle Creations sensor-supported ESC, users can unlock advanced tuning options through Castle Link, elevating their overall performance.

The Smartsense feature utilizes the motor’s sensors for smooth startups and remarkable low-speed drivability, transitioning seamlessly to sensorless mode during operation. By advancing timing automatically for each load condition, Smartsense delivers peak performance and efficiency throughout the throttle range, making it the ultimate power plant for any RC vehicle.

This is not just another motor; it is a game changer in the world of RC hobbyist equipment, offering precise throttle control and enhanced driving dynamics that ensure an exhilarating experience. Feel the power and efficiency that only a top-tier motor can provide with the Castle 1717 Sensored Brushless Motor.
