MOTOR, 4-POLE SENSORED BRUSHLESS, 1512-2650kv V2

WHY SENSORED?

Driversin all applications demand clean starts when coming off the line.Crawler fans require high-precision low speed control and torque forclimbing, racers need precision and predictability, and dragsters don’thave a millisecond to spare. To achieve all of these performance demandsand more, we have integrated rotor position sensor technology with ourimproved high power and high efficiency motor design. Through the use ofour sensors, the position of the rotor is always known by the ESC. Thiseliminates the possibility of encountering cogging or inconsistencyduring startup. Users will experience PRECISE throttle control and BUTTERY SMOOTH starts plus the RAW POWER and LONGER RUN TIMES that our highly efficient motors produce.

WHAT MAKES AN EXCEPTIONAL MOTOR?

When tasked with designing a sensored motor our engineers started with the question,

“What makes a motor great?”

• Efficiency
  • You can push it harder (gear it up)
  • You can run it longer (with the same battery)
  • It stays cool under extreme loads
• Reliability
  • Ability to withstand the harsh demands of any RC application
  • Long-life, high-quality components
  • Proven manufacturing techniques

EFFICIENCY IS KEY

Thehigher the efficiency of a motor the more power it can produce withoutoverheating, which allows you to safely run higher gear ratios. Thehigher the efficiency of a motor, the less power it takes to produce thesame output power, which allows you to run longer on a single charge.The higher the efficiency of the motor, the less energy it turns intoheat; keeping it cool under extreme loads. Efficiency equalsperformance.

RELIABILITY CAN’T BE IGNORED

Withouta robust and reliable design, efficiency will only go so far. RCenthusiasts love pushing their equipment to the edge. The Castleengineers know this and spared no expense when developing a design thatcould hold up to the harsh conditions that the RC community will throwat it. Oversized NMB bearings and vibration dampening system ensure thelongest bearing life possible. High-strength, high-temperature gradeneodymium sintered magnets combined with a high-strength Kevlar wrapensures the integrity of the rotor is not compromised during harshrunning conditions. Our proprietary winding techniques allow us toproduce a stator assembly that is the lowest possible resistance,resulting in a cooler running motor. A cooler motor has a longerlifetime. Construction of our motor required careful componentselection; each verified through internal testing to ensure the highest efficiencypossible. In the end, the result is a motor with unmatched quality,performance, and reliability. We wouldn’t put our name on anything less.

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 teamduring every step of the development process. While using the highestquality components is important, design is equally important. Ourexperienced, in-house engineering team, located in Olathe, Kansas, hasspent countless hours simulating and developing the most efficientdesign. Development includes magnetic simulations, custom windingtechniques, and rigorous, real-world testing of the final product.

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

We take OVERPOWERING seriously.

INTEGRATED SOPHISTICATION

Castleengineers always add a little something extra in their designs thattakes your performance to the next level. We have not skimped here. Manycustomers have utilized our industry leading software functionalitythat Castle Link* offers. When paired with a Castle Creations sensor supported ESC, like the MAMBA MAX PRO, MAMBA X 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 to provide 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™.
