The can size is way more helpful because you can actually tell if it's going to fit in the RC car you are going to put it in.

[@crazylarryjr]

True, but you can go to Castles site and look up the motor you want, it has the can dimensions, just one extra step. You never know how those other motors are setup, they never include stator dimensions, Just KV

[@colin1992]

Interesting, thanks for teaching us something new

[@RCexplained]

You bet!

[@TommyRC]

Great vids, I learned a lot.

[@timt8029]

Great explanation. I've took apart many motors and some are very disappointing with all the extra space. This is a more accurate measurement of how much power you are getting.

[@miguelmingau7405]

Great Video 🏁❤️👍🏾💯🏁🏁

[@crazylarryjr]

Always assumed it was the can size in inches, Thank you for the correction

[@bigboytoyzrc9258]

Thank you

[@bcautin]

Thanks for the content

Any time

The 1721 is one bad mother! Just did 101mph in my Talion on 4s during testing/shakedown. Raz Shifrin hit 192 mph on this motor (not his PB but impressive).

Thanks brutha. Great video. 👍

[@RCexplained]

I appreciate it

[@jessekormick3796]

Hello. Great video. Off subject can I put new wires on any of my esc . Xlx2/ mmx.??

[@dakotanewman4443]

This should be a secondary name/spec because anyone who is looking for a motor of a specific size will just see these weird numbers and move on to something else. Are they really expecting me to just click from one motor to the next until I find one with the dimensions I’m looking for?

[@marcusliu9782]

Castle motor have different stator size for different kv. For example, 1717 1260kv have shorter stator and rotor than 1717 1650kv. It even weights like 40 gram less.

[@onewheelmagic]

Great video, I think that the benefits of castles names are diminished due to the fact that we don’t know the dimensions of the stator in the other motors, there’s nothing to compare it to unless you do lots of research. Does that make sense? So I see the benefits, but it’s like comparing apples to oranges based on number designation.

[@programr101]

Nice explanation! For a future video would you explain how some ESCs have a KV limit? For example the XLX2 is not recommended for motors with higher than 2000kv. Thanks

[@TommyRC]

If you update the latest firmware, it'll be fine with higher than 2000Kv motor.

[@checkmedia2560]

Don’t stop making videos

[@RCexplained]

Thanks for the comment!

[@Drunken_Hamster]

So technically, the measurement isn't the problem, it's HOW they measure. The 1512 in metric would be a 3830, for example.

[@maxeriousbrooks9807]

Absolutely redicoulus way that tells the end user almost nothing practical as to vehicle fitment there motors are great but this is nonsense theres always that one company that uses entirely different form of messurement so there products cant be easily compared with there competition
