• Kevlar-reinforced rotor – maintains structural integrity under extreme RPM stress
• Oversized bearings – reduce vibration and extend mechanical lifespan
• Low-resistance stator – improves thermal efficiency and supports longer run times
• Heavy-duty wiring – 8AWG leads and 8mm bullets support high-current flow
• Dual sensor ports – enable flexible installation in large-scale chassis
• Rebuildable architecture – allows replacement of rotor, shaft, and bearing assemblies

How does the hybrid timing system enhance throttle control?

The Castle 1700kV motor with low-resistance stator and 10-horsepower potential features a hybrid timing system that combines sensored startup precision with ultra-efficient sensorless drive. This dual-mode operation ensures cog-free launches and dynamically adjusts timing as load conditions change, delivering peak torque and smoother throttle transitions throughout the full RPM range. For 1/5 scale builds, this translates into more predictable handling, faster acceleration, and reduced thermal stress during extended sessions.

Why is the Kevlar-wrapped rotor essential for high-load reliability?

The Castle M-CC060-0103-00 sensored inrunner motor with 8AWG wire and Kevlar-wrapped rotor is built to withstand the mechanical stress of high-RPM operation in heavy-duty platforms. The Kevlar wrap reinforces the rotor against centrifugal force, maintaining balance and preventing deformation during aggressive driving. This structural integrity is critical in vehicles weighing up to 30 lbs, where torque demands and rotational forces are extreme. Combined with oversized bearings and a vibration dampening system, the rotor design ensures smoother operation, reduced wear, and extended motor life.

How do oversized bearings improve durability and performance?

Oversized NMB bearings in the Castle M-CC060-0103-00 with oversized NMB bearings and vibration dampening minimize mechanical vibration and extend operational lifespan. These bearings absorb shock and reduce friction, protecting internal components from premature wear. In large-scale RC platforms, where weight and torque are substantial, vibration control is essential for maintaining stability and precision. The integrated dampening system further enhances this effect, ensuring that the motor remains quiet, smooth, and reliable even under high-RPM loads and rapid throttle transitions.

What makes the stator design thermally efficient?

Castle’s proprietary winding techniques in the Castle M-CC060-0103-00 4-pole motor with dual sensor ports and 8mm bullet connectors produce a stator assembly with the lowest possible resistance. This allows the motor to convert more electrical energy into usable torque while generating less heat. The result is a cooler running motor that supports longer runtimes and higher gear ratios without compromising performance. For users pushing 12S LiPo setups, this thermal efficiency is essential for maintaining consistent output and protecting internal components from overheating.

Is this motor compatible with popular 1/5 scale platforms?

Yes. The Castle 2028 motor for Losi 5IVE-T, DBXL-E, and gas-to-electric conversions is designed to fit seamlessly into large-scale chassis and deliver the torque required for heavy-duty applications. Its dual sensor ports offer flexible installation options, while the 8AWG wiring and 8mm bullet connectors ensure secure, high-current power delivery. Whether you're upgrading from a stock motor or converting a gas-powered rig, the Castle M-CC060-0103-00 motor provides the performance and reliability needed for extreme terrain and aggressive driving styles.
