I think Leopard is worse since they look exactly the same AND are competing with Castle for the same 1/8 motor market.
Viper R/C is supposed to be releasing a 1/8 ESC and motors soon though. I'll reserve my judgment for when those come out. If the 1/8 look like a Tekin clone then I'll take issue.

Tekin also makes 1/10 motors and they look identical to these motors. But for a company that has pretty much never been heard of these motors aren't cheap. I seen them on AMain for about $83, You can pick up a Tekin or Novak for about $5 more and at least those are known companies.
Personally I can't wait for a Castle spec class motor line!
