FatWheels Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Ridiculous power on tap there. This thing just needs a ton of space to operate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher 46 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 So a 1717.... That's the stock motor size wise right? X01 size. Which in non castle talk is what? Ive got a 4092 leopard 1480kv. What at leopard for example would be compatible to a 1717? [emoji6] Leopard 4074 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, the 4082 is still a lot slimmer than the 1717, they're approximately 49mm including the fins.

Noj Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Guns, it really is simply a marvellous, torque laden fun can! Castle do make great cans and for the money, don't think there's anything as good. 2028 FTW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocdcbr Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 So kershaw does their mount for $60.. For 56-58mm cans and 2028.. Nothing smaller... So no 5085... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady 2215 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 So people, don't want to state the obvious, but it's Friday tomorrow. Do we think we might get an email saying. "Out for delivery " Seen as the 2nd batch is due on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ady 2215 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Looks like the lucky 2nd batch people might get there's before we get our 1st pre order batch. MS still saying 2nd Feb for 2nd batch with no mention of any delay. ( or early Feb ) either way still doesn't look good.. Some updates would be nice.

Kpowell911 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 No, IF you pre ordered first youll get yours first, and the second batch will be delayed. Wonder how many have been ordered in the UK? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real way to do that is to cut top end power. Big squid did say in the review that the ESC had strange power issues one time they would hit full throttle and feel the power all the way to the top end. but other times top end didn't happen. Also owners who have changed the ESC have noticed the truck goes faster after the change over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
