Well said Josh. I paid $28 bucks for my 14v dewalt locally. it was alot of fun before I decided to go whole hog into brushless and lipo. Being completely waterproof without affecting your warranty has it's perks too. I'll be swapping my dewalt and EVX2 back in and wrapping my lipos in seran wrap for some fun in the snow like I did last year.
I don't want to bad mouth Kershaw, but they're just rebadged generic motors. The dewalts are alot tougher. Mine did require one of the motor mount holes to be enlarged a little, the kershaw doesn't. But the hole I enlarged is not meant for standard 25mm bolt pattern motors, so it's doesn't ruin the mount if you want to use a different motor.
