also are they droping the 1:8 1518 1800kv 1y motor??

I do not think you could get that to fit in a Summit without major modifications. That thing is 4.4 inches long, and has an 8mm shaft! Its a big sucker.

ohh custume motor mount and shel mount needed ? lol stronger shocks to
like to see it in the summit thought but i can wait to see considering the price

[ArmyofDarkness]

It wont fit in a million years, not even with a custom motor mount- its nearly twice the size of the 1515 motors and those are more than capable of destroying your diffs; they put out 5HP peak, the 2028 puts out closer to 10HP peak.

Everything about that motor makes it completely unsuitable for 1/10-1/8 rc use, its purely for 1/5 scale r/cs only- dont forget you need the MMMXL esc and 8s lipo; $600 for esc and motor.

You can go back to day dreaming now

Plus, it would be better to put it in an e-revo, or something rather a summit, since it's (blah) sensorless. Now, if it had sensors for buttery smooth low-throttle operation, *I'd* be tempted. I guess I gotta get a Summit first, though!

[RSmodelstore]

mmm maybe a nice (read : expensive) project to build a custom summit with such a motor in each wheel, very low COG and endless torque... mmmm... :-P

[ArmyofDarkness]

Just to hammer my previous point home:



Thats a 1515 ( MMM ) motor vs the 2028. Still think it'll fit a summit or erevo?

my jaw just dropped.

[jolynsbass]

Yeah, my mental jaw dropped, and it made me exhale through my nose. Now that I wrote that, it sounds kind of gross.

Now what we need is a pic of a lineup from standard 540 size, to the 1/8 scale motor, to the 1/5 scale. I want to see how amazingly huge it is next to my rustler's motor.

h0ly 5h1z i didnt thik it was that big

aod were would you get the mmmxl esc i didnt see it on the castle site

2mins later ok ya ya

[ArmyofDarkness]

The motor, esc and conversion kit for the baja5b will be appearing on the castle website any time soon- should be in the shops within the next few weeks. As for more size comparisons:



Thats a 1512, 1717 & 2025 ( pre-production 2028 I think, dont quote me on that though ).

A 540 motor is 36mm x 50mm long, 1512 is 42mm x 67.5mm, 1717 is 50mm x 85mm, 2028 is 57mm x 113.2mm. So, a 540 motor is about 3/4 the length of the 1512 and half a centimeter smaller in diameter ( feel free to draw your own scale picture )

AOD - I need your contacts. Your info/pics seems to come light years ahead of the free world.
