RC is kind of my off-season thing. I was at a bicycle event and was invited to race an RC enduro that HPI put on. They wouldn't let me see the truck without a body, but it was definitely a Castle motor. They did say they are thinking of running a bigger motor for production. Whatever the motor was it through the truck around like a Slash 4x4 on 3S. It was pretty pissed.
