I got into a debate on another forum regarding the Speed Passion 1/8 system. The supporting arugument was that 4s is "the standard" now. Also, "why would anyone want to run 6s anyway?" was another comeback. So for 6s capability : Advantage Castle

Obviously we all want reliability in an electric conversion first and foremost. Higher voltage setups allow for lower current draw for the same given power output (ie. more efficient).

After reaping gobs of power from brushless/lipo at will, I think the second matter of importance is the ability to control this power and put it to good use. Castle offers this ability with the Castle Link. Speed Passion is supposed to run in Hybrid-Mode, where it starts out as a sensored system and can change to sensorless.. If that's the case, then it will be interesting to see how this works out. I'll be easy and call this EVEN, giving Speed Passion the benefit of the doubt with this hybrid mode thing.

Lastly, with any system there's a chance of failure or heaven forbid.. abuse. That's where customer support comes in. I haven't worked with anyone from Speed Passion yet, but regardless all they can ever do is match Castle in this category. Hands down, CC has the best customer service I've seen out there. Advantage: Castle

Price would be a bonus point I guess.. We all want to save a few bucks. And the MMM can be had for a bit less than Speed Passion at this point. So.. bonus:Castle
