The Savage Flux uses a Castle Creations Mamba Monster and what myself and Chip Cross suspect is a 2200kv Neu motor. It's an awesomely powerful rig
The rig in the Sav Flux is designed to run off between 14.4V and 22.2V, meaning despite being only 2200kV it tops out at 48,840rpm as it's theoretical maximum. On a motor that physical size that is a LOT of power.
RRP on a Castle Mamba Monster + 2200kV BL motor is 349.00, which ain't bad I suppose.
The Flux motor is a Neu Castle, the same motor found with the Mamba Monster combo. It is based upon Steve Neu's design but mass produced by Castle.
I have a Medusa 36-80 2200KV motor coming direct from the factory soon. I'll be using it in project "brushless for the masses" . It is longer than a Neu 1515 but slightly shorter than a 1521. I'll be doing extensive testing to compare it to my Neu 1515 1Y (also 2200KV).
That is correct. Also the Y and D designation denotes the type of winding. There is no significant advantage between the two, other than with older ESCs running the D wind motors. With older ESCs and D wind motors you used to have to set the motor timing to low because the older electronics had issues with recognizing rotor position. Nowadays most of the current ESCs have no problems with rotor recognition with either type of wind.
