IMO, the castle motor are better for the long term and intense use (more than 1 hour a day) because of their bigger bearings. Leopard and hobbywing motors use the same bearing brand (NMB), but the bearings are smaller.
So, correct me if I am wrong, but for the same quality, the bigger the bearing is and the longer it can hold. That's why Castle upgraded the NEU Motors bearings no ?
Anyway, if one day I have a bearing or rotor failure, I know I can replace it with the Castle repair kit.
All this reasons concern purely the reliability of the motor, but there is the support team too...
