WHY SENSORED?
Drivers in all applications demand clean starts when coming off the line. Crawler fans require high-precision low speed control and torque for climbing, racers need precision and predictability, and dragsters don't have a millisecond to spare. To achieve all of these performance demands and more, we have integrated rotor position sensor technology with our improved high power and high efficiency motor design. Through the use of our sensors, the position of the rotor is always known by the ESC. This eliminates the possibility of encountering cogging or inconsistency during startup. Users will experience PRECISE throttle control and BUTTERY SMOOTH starts plus the RAW POWER and LONGER RUN TIMES that our highly efficient motors produce.
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. RC enthusiasts love pushing their equipment to the edge. 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. Our proprietary winding techniques allow us 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 of our motor 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. We wouldn't put our name on anything less.
FEATURES

- REBUILDABLE design allows users to replace front end bell/bearing assembly or rotor/shaft assembly.
- ROAR standard sensor port and labeled connections.
- Updated modern and sleek design; looks as cool as it performs.
Immense care is taken by our US design team during every step of the development process. While using the highest quality components is important, design is equally important. Our experienced, in-house engineering team, located in Olathe, Kansas, has spent countless hours simulating and developing the most efficient design. Development includes magnetic simulations, custom winding techniques, and rigorous, real-world testing of the final product.
You will reap the benefits of longer run times on one battery and a cooler running motor that can be pushed harder.
INTEGRATED SOPHISTICATION
CCastle engineers always add a little something extra in their designs that takes your performance to the next level. We have not skimped here. Many customers have utilized our industry leading software functionality that Castle Link* offers. When paired with a Castle Creations sensor supported ESC, like the MAMBA MAX PRO, MAMBA X or COPPERHEAD, you can unlock advanced tuning capabilities that Castle Link provides specifically for sensored motors.
SMARTSENSET uses the motors sensors to start the motor to provide smooth starts, excellent torque, and low-speed drivability. Once the motor is turning, it seamlessly transitions to Castle's ULTRA- EFFICIENT sensorless mode. When running, a motor must transition between different load points and a different timing advance is required for optimal efficiency at all load points. Using mechanical timing adjustments alone, you can only target one driving condition, such as higher start power or higher top end speed. This sacrifices performance and efficiency during the other driving phases. Electronic timing in SMARTSENSET will advance timing automatically for peak performance during all driving conditions. This allows users to combine the best of both worlds in an unrivaled HYBRID between smooth sensored startups and high-efficiency sensorless drive.
With a Castle sensored ESC and sensored motor you will have the ULTIMATE POWER PLANT for your vehicle. Users will experience PRECISE throttle control, BUTTERY SMOOTH starts, PEAK PERFORMANCE and EFFICIENCY throughout the full throttle range. You will feel the POWER and LONGER RUN TIMES that a WORLD-CLASS motor produces.
It's not magic. it's SMARTSENSET

How does the hybrid timing system enhance micro RC performance?
The Castle M-CC060-0098-00 4-pole motor with SmartSense startup and QuietSense sync features a hybrid timing system that combines sensored startup precision with sensorless drive efficiency. SmartSense technology uses rotor position sensors to initiate clean, cog-free launches, eliminating the stutter often experienced in traditional brushless motors. Once the motor is in motion, it transitions seamlessly into sensorless mode, dynamically adjusting timing to match load conditions. This hybrid approach ensures optimal torque delivery, smoother throttle transitions, and peak performance throughout the full throttle range—making the motor ideal for technical terrain, tight corners, and rapid directional changes in 1/16 scale RC platforms.
Why is the Kevlar-wrapped rotor critical for high-RPM durability?
The Castle M-CC060-0098-00 with Kevlar-wrapped rotor and oversized NMB bearings is engineered to withstand the mechanical stress of high-speed operation. The Kevlar wrap reinforces the rotor against centrifugal force, maintaining structural integrity and balance during aggressive acceleration. This design choice is especially important in micro RC builds where compact dimensions and lightweight components are subject to intense rotational forces. By preventing rotor deformation and vibration, the Kevlar wrap contributes to smoother operation, reduced wear, and longer motor life—ensuring consistent performance across repeated runs and demanding conditions.
What role do the oversized bearings play in vibration control?
Oversized NMB bearings in the Castle 1010 motor with ROAR sensor port and vibration dampening system serve a dual purpose: minimizing mechanical vibration and extending operational lifespan. These bearings absorb shock and reduce friction, protecting internal components from premature wear. In micro-scale vehicles, where space is limited and tolerances are tight, vibration control is essential for maintaining stability and precision. The integrated vibration dampening system further enhances this effect, ensuring that the motor remains quiet, smooth, and reliable even under high-RPM loads and rapid throttle transitions.
How does the stator design improve thermal efficiency?
The Castle 4400kV motor with low-resistance stator and high-purity copper windings is built for thermal resilience and electrical efficiency. Castle’s proprietary winding techniques reduce internal resistance, allowing the motor to convert more electrical energy into usable torque while generating less heat. This efficiency enables users to run higher gear ratios safely and enjoy longer runtimes on a single charge. In micro RC applications, where battery capacity and cooling options are limited, the stator’s low-resistance design ensures that the motor remains cool and consistent, even during extended sessions or aggressive driving.
Is the Castle M-CC060-0098-00 motor compatible with sensored ESCs?
Yes. The Castle M-CC060-0098-00 sensored inrunner motor with 4mm bullet connectors includes a ROAR-compliant sensor port and clearly labeled connections, ensuring compatibility with sensored ESCs such as Castle’s Mamba Max Pro, Mamba X, and Copperhead. This compatibility unlocks advanced tuning capabilities via Castle Link software, allowing users to fine-tune timing, throttle curves, and startup behavior to match their specific build and driving style. The motor’s clean signal transmission, enabled by QuietSense shielding, ensures that ESC-motor synchronization remains stable and responsive throughout operation.
