Tech Notes:

Water Resistant Design: The sensor board is coated with silicone conformal coating to protect the sensors from moisture. The sensor connections are not water resistant; water can cause signal loss which could result in loss of sensored capabilities. Castle recommends applying dielectric grease to the outside of the sensor wire connections after installation of the wire. Routine maintenance is recommended after running in wet conditions. Please refer to this document for running and maintaining motors in wet environments.

Castle Creations, Inc. warrants this product to be free from manufacturing defects for a period of one year from date of purchase.

This is a high power product with the potential to be very dangerous. Please read the safety information before use. This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

THE DESIGN: KEEPING IT COOL

  • Our 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.
  • Our OPTIMIZED design eliminates the need for mechanical timing adjustments. Our sensor alignment method delivers uniform timing and torque in both directions, automatically.
  • REBUILDABLE design allows users to replace front end bell/bearing assembly or rotor/shaft assembly.
  • ROAR standard sensor port and labeled connections.
  • Updated modern and sleek design; looks as cool as it performs.

Immense care is taken by our US design team during every step of thedevelopment process. While using the highest quality components isimportant, design is equally important. Our experienced, in-houseengineering team, located in Olathe, Kansas, has spent countless hourssimulating and developing the most efficient design. Developmentincludes magnetic simulations, custom winding techniques, and rigorous,real-world testing of the final product.

During a 5-minute constant power dyno test the results were clear.When producing 200W of power, our competitors’ motors increased intemperature over 20% more than the Castle 1406 Sensored motor. Whenproducing 300W of power, it wasn’t even close, their temperature climbedat over twice the rate of the Castle motor and then overheated inaround two minutes while the Castle motor powered through and completedthe test. _Click here for graph_

* Competitors’ motors is average of several 7.5T 2-pole motors typically used in mod-style racing.


You will reap the benefits of longer run times on one battery and a cooler running motor that can be pushed harder.

INTEGRATED SOPHISTICATION

Castle engineers always add a little something extra in their designsthat takes your performance to the next level. We have not skimpedhere. Many customers have utilized our industry leading softwarefunctionality that Castle Link* offers. When paired with a Castle Creations sensor supported ESC, like the Mamba Micro X2, MAMBA MAX PRO, MAMBA X, Copperhead 10, Cobra 10 or MAMBA MONSTER X, you can unlock advanced tuning capabilities that Castle Link provides specifically for sensored motors.

SMARTSENSE™ uses the motors sensors to start the motor toprovide smooth starts, excellent torque, and low-speed drivability.Once the motor is turning, it seamlessly transitions to Castle’s ULTRA- EFFICIENTsensorless mode. When running, a motor must transition betweendifferent load points and a different timing advance is required foroptimal efficiency at all load points. Using mechanical timingadjustments alone, you can only target one driving condition, such ashigher start power or higher top end speed. This sacrifices performanceand efficiency during the other driving phases. Electronic timing in SMARTSENSE™will advance timing automatically for peak performance during alldriving conditions. This allows users to combine the best of both worldsin an unrivaled HYBRID between smooth sensored startups and high-efficiency sensorless drive.

With a Castle sensored ESC and sensored motor you will have the ULTIMATE POWER PLANT for your vehicle. Users will experience PRECISE throttle control, BUTTERY SMOOTH starts, PEAK PERFORMANCE and EFFICIENCY throughout the full throttle range. You will feel the POWER and LONGER RUN TIMES that a WORLD-CLASS motor produces.

It’s not magic… it’s SMARTSENSE™.
