Skellyo, I'm not quite sure what you are getting at, but you seem to be misreading my posts.

The Novak comment was bc that motor looks just like a Velocity series motor, from the solder tabs to case design to other features. IE, it seems they are the supplier of the Novak motors built to Novak's spec. Not the other way around. Novak doesn't manufacture motors themselves that I know off, so would subcontract it out, and it looks to be GM based on your link. I always thought the velocity motors were high quality, just the ESC I was not a fan of and sold it off.

Castle does not manu their motors either, that's why you see them talking about searching for diff motors that can meet their spec. They even talked to Neu at some point, but abandoned the idea due to cost.

Otherwise, I didn't suggest this for MTs. Quite the contrary. However I was saying, if it was announced that someone would be releasing a 200A BL car ESC this week (first manstream ever produced!), what would have been the Vegas odds that it was TRX? No one saw this one coming...

Overall its a great development for the elec hobby and will only push BL more mainstream and force more competitive and capable controllers. Yeah for everyone.
