It is not an actual issue with the esc, it is the motor pulling too many amps from the esc, if your car was doing that before it was way overgeared unless you are running over the high 150's.

I came upon your video while looking into the CASTLE 1721-2400Kv motor. I am hardly an expert at RC builds to say the least, but I love doing it. Certainly not a very good RC driver either. I’ve got a few nice builds behind me, a very nice XO1, a fun TALION & my favorite, a LIMITLESS GT using the BITTYDESIGN SEVEN65 body. The LIMITLESS is barely behind me and the new CASTLE 1721 has captured my interest. I’ve only gotten as far as seeing the 101.2 mm motor will not fit in the factory motor position of a LIMITLESS roller. Even if I wanted to rework my XO1, it wouldn’t fit in there either. I realize you guys deal with this issue in most if not all you speed builds. As many videos I’ve watched where the chassis of the RC obviously had to be modified to fit the motor, none of them promoted any understanding to me of how it is accomplished. Are there any videos you could suggest to me that will get me going? Thanks!
@@InnovationRC yeah I’m assuming this can will have a more conservative gear ratio. I would even bet that this beast will be setting Phil’s 4s challenge records very soon as well
what was the gearing on 6s and on 8s want to use the stock spur 46t what pinion do you recommend I also have a 1520 and a 1515 figured stock 46/16 will be good for bashing with either of those two motors whats a good pinion to run with the 1520 for speed runs using the 46T spur
Check the lot number and month made on the auxiliary wire!! The 3 faulty lot batch numbers are easily found online! If it matches any of the 3 numbers, just send it to Castle and they’ll check the busbars.
That is a great motor dude ....can you please tell me which pinion gear were you using when you passed it with the 6S batery ? Also were can i buy some good fans for this monster ? Not all of them will fit ...which ones would you recomend ? Thanks !
What brand of pinion gear are you using? With the stock motor mount I have to flip the pinion around the other way and that doesn't excite me with how close the grub screws are to the end of the motor shaft. I'm using a Saga customs pinion. Thanks
@@InnovationRC I ended up milling out the inside of the motor mount so the pinion can be flipped back around how a 5mm mod 1 gear would be. Works perfect now

Very good runs. Just shows how linear your throttle has to be and due mainly to road distance. What if they were to us a 1860kv motor would it work then?
Innovation!!…. How many ppl have asked you about how you tune your calibrations on castle link? Where’s your start percentage? Do you use drag brake? Are you using a custom throttle curve? Do you also use your transmitter calibrations to dial the cars performance in? I’m currently building a second car but with my first XLX2 combo and I haven’t had any hands on yet bcs it’s a lot of work and research.
Very Interesting? Nice passes as well🏎💨Gonna wait to see where this motor goes? Maybe it's gonna be a "1 and we're done" type motor? As where i can pull 5-6 passes of 130 or better with the 1717 1650kv and pull her in around 160°
The temps on any motor don't really get too bad until you are at the limit of the motor, if you were doing 130's with the 1721 it would be fine for at least a few passes, but like the 162 I did (on a different motor) was over 170 degrees on the outside of the can.
@@masonkaye5 Not necessarily at the motors' limit, there's so many factors in this equation that can cause excessive heat. But the most common is gearing and timing in my experience. High kv, smaller can will pretty much always cause more heat. 1 and done!

I swear in the beginning you sounded and acted caffeinated. Also if castle is going to have a motor like that they should release a speed controller that can handle the increased current flow or something.
You need to gear the motor accordingly to what voltage and what length of road you run on. If you pull the trigger too quick, or, overgear, esc will cutoff. Lowered the gearing and no cutoff afterwords
I love a good set of big cans
Tooshay!
Those are some crazy speeds dude. Castle always seems to come up with some ballistic motors.
u should have a fan on that motor1
Bring electric leaf blower with you it's cools those motors fast

Aw man I really appreciate that! There's many others who are awesome at this too! Thanks for saying that about me tho!
Nice speed. Can you please recommend a Castle motor/ESC for Limitless v2 for track use (not straight line runs)?
I'd go with a 1650kv or the newer 1721 1260kv motor. With a Mamba Monster X8s. Run it on 4s and gear up to your desired speed!
