But you said Leopard Copied/Cloned your motors?
How is this so? I have a Leopard 5692 1340kv sitting here. ( The visual build quality is excellent - I'm yet to run it though. )
Castle doesn't produce a motor of this size (This motor has been around for awhile) and nothing close to it. So there is some obvious R&D being done with these Leopard motors and not blatant copying, as you guys have suggested.
I'd lean more towards them being Castle influenced
Just my 0.2c.

Make that
heavily influenced- up until Castle released their 1515 there were pretty much zero other 4 pole motors to be had, besides Neu & Medusa- and both of those are American designed/ made motors too. Changing the length and diameter of a motor to acheive a desired power output and kv rating isnt that difficult, Castle did all the ground work as it were & the clone factories came along and exploited it, just like all the proper 1/8 scale escs from China that came along after the MMM and Tekin Rx8 were released...
