This is the Castle Creations 1010 4-Pole 1/18 Sensored Brushless Motor. Constructed with the high quality components Castle Creations products are known for, this powerful motor features precision sensored technology. With an incorporated sensor board this motor offers precise throttle control and buttery smooth starts, plus the incredible power and longer run times that these highly efficient motors produce. When paired with a sensored ESC such as the Mamba Micro X2 this is a great option for rock crawler applications that require high-precision low speed control and torque for climbing. Additionally racers that need precision and predictability along with drag racers can benefit from this technology as well.
EFFICIENCY IS KEY
The higher the efficiency of a motor the more power it can produce without overheating, which allows you to safely run higher gear ratios. The higher the efficiency of a motor, the less power it takes to produce the same output power, which allows you to run longer on a single charge. The higher the efficiency of the motor, the less energy it turns into heat; keeping it cool under extreme loads. Efficiency equals performance.
RELIABILITY CAN’T BE IGNORED
Without a robust and reliable design, efficiency will only go so far. The Castle engineers know this and spared no expense when developing a design that could hold up to the harsh conditions that the RC community will throw at it. Oversized NMB bearings and vibration dampening system ensure the longest bearing life possible. High-strength, high-temperature grade neodymium sintered magnets combined with a high-strength Kevlar wrap ensures the integrity of the rotor is not compromised during harsh running conditions. Proprietary winding techniques allow Castle to produce a stator assembly that is the lowest possible resistance, resulting in a cooler running motor. A cooler motor has a longer lifetime. Construction required careful component selection; each verified through internal testing to ensure the highest efficiency possible. In the end, the result is a motor with unmatched quality, performance, and reliability.
Features:
- Improved 4-Pole 12-Slot design boasts exceptional efficiency and produces less heat.
- QUIETSENSE technology shields the sensors from magnetic field noise generated from the motor coils and keeps your motor and ESC in sync at all times. Use of a Flux Shield in conjunction with secondary Sense Magnets delivers even higher precision and more efficient startups.
- An Optimized design eliminates the need for mechanical timing adjustments. The sensor alignment method used delivers uniform timing and torque in both directions, automatically.
- Updated modern and sleek design; looks as cool as it performs.
