Castle Creations Launches GHOST RC 1721-2400KV Motor for 1/5 Scale Drag Racing
1/5-scale drag racing brushless motor/ESC combo from Castle Creations, not Power Hobby's actual product despite the BRAND tag.

Even setting aside brand mismatch, drag racing motors don't fit the show's scale-centric editorial lens. Date is high-confidence but ~5 months old (2026-03-14 vs first seen 2026-08-06), so it's also stale n

Castle Creations introduces the GHOST RC 1721-2400KV motor, a 1/5-scale drag racing motor built on their proven 4-pole sensored design but redesigned for GHOST MODE. It pairs with the GHOST RC COBRA 5 ACE ESC and includes upgrades like a larger rear bearing, longer 30mm output shaft, direct-extending winding wires, a full-length 8mm shaft, and a stainless-steel wrapped rotor for improved high-RPM reliability and performance.
