Paralyzed's example is something to really take note of...a transmission really alleviates a lot of load from the motor vs. direct drive and his 9XL still gets hot (although the Keda motors from Hobbycity are even worse on efficiency than real Feigaos). Feigao can make decent stuff if you make them do so, but I doubt Kershaw asked for anything more than their standard motor in different colors and sizes.
As for Kershaw, I've had bad dealings with him also. He ripped me off on 40% the price of the product. That sounds like a lot, but it was a small product (low cost), but instead of making things right, he wanted the few bucks extra instead of satisfying a customer and possibly having return patronage.
I don't think his motors are that crappy, but I will say his customer service is. He runs his business as I'll-get-every-buck-out-of-you, instead of other small RC businesses where they care more about the satisfaction of the customer (and are smart enough to know satisfaction means return patronage, referrals, and more money in the long run).

I'd have to agree with this based on my dealings with him. The quality of the items was fine, but the service I got was sub-par, even when items didn't arrive it was an uphill battle getting a resolution.
