Hang on a minute champ! Castle made these motors for HPI based on what HPI wanted to pay. If anyone cheaped out that would be HPI. HPI could have easily paid a little more and fitted better motors to their trucks. Instead they wanted to make something for x amount less and that is the outcome.
I absolutley love Castle motors and they are kickass units but I don't really like to see what they are doing for HPI. Making lower spec motors for another company and then putting the Castle name on them will not help their reputation.
