Castle Creations & Ghost RC 1408 7000Kv Sensored No Prep Drag Motor
The Ghost RC 1408 7000Kv Sensored Drag Motor is designed specifically for high-performance 1/10 No Prep drag racing. Based on Castle Creations' proven 4-pole sensored motor design, it is designed and manufactured by Castle to Ghost RC's requirements for the extreme demands of RC drag racing. This motor delivers more torque and RPM than Ghost RC's previous 6000Kv drag motor series. Its adjustable rear endbell allows racers to tune motor timing, while the stainless-wrapped rotor, replaceable 8-gauge wires, and 5mm shaft are built for demanding drag-racing setups. Based on Ghost RC's direct recommendation, the 1408 7000Kv is the preferred option for dedicated 1/10 No Prep drag racing. For sand drag, heavier drag vehicles, speed-run builds, and other applications, Ghost RC recommends the 1412 4300Kv motor. KEY FEATURES 1408 4-pole sensored design developed for high-performance No Prep drag racing. 7000Kv nominal rating with an actual Kv range stated by Ghost RC as approximately 7400–7600Kv. More torque and RPM than the 6000Kv series Ghost RC drag-racing motors. Adjustable Rear Endbell allows racers to tune the motor's base timing. Stainless-wrapped rotor provides durability and reliability during high-speed operation. Maximum operating speed of 90,000 RPM. 550-size motor can with a 36mm diameter and 63.8mm overall length. 5mm output shaft with Siamese pinion flats provides a secure mounting surface for compatible 48-pitch or 32-pitch pinions. Replaceable 8-gauge motor wires are designed to handle the high-current demands of drag racing. Oversized solder tabs provide increased current capacity. Pre-installed 6.5mm male Castle bullet connectors. Compatible with 2S and 3S LiPo batteries. Supports SmartSense, sensored, and sensorless operation when paired with a compatible ESC. RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS Ghost RC recommends the 1408 7000Kv for dedicated 1/10 No Prep drag racing. Recommended ESC: Ghost RC Cobra 8 ACE No Prep Drag ESC For sand drag racing, heavier drag vehicles, speed-run builds, and other applications outside dedicated No Prep racing, the 1412 4300Kv motor is recommended. RECOMMENDED 2S SETUP Final Drive Ratio: 9.5–11.0 Recommended endbell timing: 9°–18°, set using a motor analyzer These recommendations are provided for optimal 2S performance. Final gearing and timing must still be selected carefully based on vehicle weight, track conditions, tire size, ESC settings, motor temperature, and the complete power system. ⚙️TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Motor Type 4-pole sensored brushless motor Motor Size 1408 / 550-size can Nominal Kv Rating 7000Kv Actual Kv Range Approximately 7400–7600Kv, as stated by Ghost RC Input Voltage 2S–3S LiPo Maximum RPM 90,000 RPM Dimensions 63.8mm long × 36mm diameter Weight 295g (10.4 oz), including wires Shaft 5mm diameter × 20mm long, with Siamese pinion flats Mounting Holes M3 at 25.4mm spacing Motor Wires Replaceable 8-gauge wire Connectors 6.5mm male Castle bullet connectors Running Modes SmartSense, sensored, and sensorless Cooling Fan Optional Application 1/10 No Prep drag cars Recommended ESC Ghost RC Cobra 8 ACE Product Number 060-0116-00 WATER-RESISTANCE INFORMATION The motor's sensor board is coated with silicone conformal coating to help protect the sensors from moisture. However, the sensor-wire connections are not water-resistant. Water entering the connections can interrupt the sensor signal and result in the loss of sensored operation. We recommend applying dielectric grease around the outside of the sensor-wire connections after installing the sensor wire. Routine maintenance is recommended after operating the motor in wet conditions. SAFETY AND WARRANTY This product is intended for advanced drag-racing applications. Drag and speed-run setups place extreme demands on electronic components and require extreme caution, an understanding of electrical theory, and advanced knowledge of the RC hobby. Improper setup or use of this product can result in catastrophic failure of the motor, ESC, and/or batteries. Due to the aggressive and abusive nature of drag and speed-run applications, Perfect Pass RC is not liable for incidental or consequential damage to other equipment when using this motor. Also, Perfect Pass RC is not responsible for failures resulting from abuse, improper installation, misapplication, or alteration. THIS PRODUCT IS SOLD WITHOUT WARRANTY!
