Castle 1415 motor

[Otp3]

Hello. Would the cc 1415 motor (looks to be the same physical size as the stock 540xl) be an upgrade? They are both 2400kv but the castle is sensor capable. I ask this as I would like to stay the original 36mm can size and use the original clamp system that holds the 540xl motor. I read that if I go 40mm can size, the rear original clamp needs to go. And I like the fact that the original motor is secured both front and rear. For mad jumping av such. But I also drive around slow with my kids, so sensor would be beneficial ��

Could not find anyone who has done this before, other that 1515 size motors. (without the rear clamp)

Edit: I do understand that I need a sensor esc aswell

Works mint in mine on 4 or 6s, stock gearing, too much simply, can’t find tires to handle it, not even SRC’s. How can you not love that!

Also have used the stock motor with an MMX on 4 and 6s, just as bada**z.

Nice, thank u for the reply. Nice trucks and nice setup. I did run the maxx on 6s for a while, using my trusty old MM2 esc. It's mental on stock gearing lol. But later put the esc in my 1/8 xray.
Did u use the stock rear motor brace with the 1415? Little hard to tell from the pics.

I used the stock motor mount, but ground down the circle straps down to a short letter U until the motor sat flush, and then triple checked and got the mesh system to function as well. Never has stripped a gear, my 4s bashers have and this guy hasn’t. Love it. I did order a GPM Aluminum motor mount, and upper cover, I need something that Loctite will adhere to for the whole 2 motor mount bolts that cause havoc on the bottom. Will update upon completion!

Ah cool, looking forward to the update.
