Castle Creations 1717 Sensored 4-Pole Brushless Motor (1650Kv)

The Castle Creations 1717, 1650KV Sensored 4-Pole Brushless Motor is a blast from the past with the added benefit of sensored capabilities! Featuring an improved 4-POLE 12-SLOT design, the sensored 1717 boasts exceptional efficiency and will generate less heat than comparable motors. This motor is a great option for any 1/6th scale model weighing up to 20 lbs and running up to 8s LiPo. The 1717 is also a great upgrade for drivers looking for an incredibly high torque 8s motor for 1/8th scale models as well!

Without a robust and reliable design, efficiency will only go so far. 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 this 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.

Features:

• 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.
• Proprietary winding techniques 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.
• IMPROVED 4-POLE 12-SLOT design boasts exceptional EFFICIENCY and produces LESS HEAT.
• QUIETSENSE™ technology shields the sensors from magnetic field noise generated from the motor coils and keeps your motor and ESC in sync at all times. Use of a Flux Shield™ in conjunction with secondary Sense Magnets delivers even HIGHER PRECISION and MORE EFFICIENT startups.
• OPTIMIZED design eliminates the need for mechanical timing adjustments. Sensor alignment method delivers uniform timing and torque in both directions, automatically.
