Default castle 1800kv 1.5 motor

Hey guys,

A month back this motor was still available. Does anyone know where I can get one? I just checked castle creations, but they just 2200 and 2650kv buggy motors avaikable. At 60$ this is the perfect buggy motor for 4s.

PLEASE HELP.

You are correct...It's a great motor for buggies on 4s. I've been running one for a couple of months now and love it. However, the only place I've seen them for sale recently is e-bay.

And they have them for retail. lol. If you're considering paying anything close to that, PM me. I'm not planning on selling mine, but if someone is gonna pay that much, well...

Do yourself a favor and get one of these instead. It's way lighter.

I run the 4060 1900kv one and it's awesome.

I barely had enough to get mine and don't even have my buggy converted. I got it to sit on my box until I get enough funds for the conversion. Good thing I did.

The great quality of the motor really surprised me. The power absolutely shocked me. The only thing that was a bit iffy was the motor wires are a bit stiff. I just cut them back and spliced in some Deans 12 gauge. They're such great motors that I just bought 3 more. But for $60 you can't lose.

I bought one and am going to try it out next weekend. If I decide to bump up to the 2200, I will sell my 1800.

Check the buy and sell thread on here , someone may sell one once in a while, I bought a new one here a couple weeks ago for $105. shipped, also missed out on the Castle sale, was saving money but waited too long but am glad I bought one even if I paid a bit more.
