Description
Castle Creations 1717 Sensored 4‑Pole Brushless Motor – 1650kV
Overview
High‑Power Sensored Motor for 1/8 and 1/5 Scale RC Vehicles
The Castle Creations 1717 Sensored 4‑Pole Brushless Motor (1650kV) is a high‑performance motor designed for demanding RC applications where torque, smooth throttle control, and durability are critical. It is well suited for 1/8‑scale and select 1/5‑scale vehicles, making it a popular choice for bashing, racing, and speed‑oriented builds.
Performance and Design
With a 4‑pole rotor design, the 1717 delivers strong low‑end torque and smooth power delivery across the throttle range. The 1650kV rating provides an excellent balance of acceleration and top speed, making it versatile across a wide range of vehicle weights and gearing setups.
The sensored design offers precise throttle modulation, improved launch control, and smoother low‑speed operation compared to sensorless motors—especially beneficial for heavy vehicles or high‑traction surfaces. Built with Castle Creations’ robust construction standards, the motor is engineered to handle high current loads and extended high‑power use.
