Dude baja what's with tha cc bashing? It's already been stated the motors were built to HPI specs and pricing not castles.

The motor is a slightly less expensive version of the 3800kV motor, with just a slightly less expensive stator and rotor. The main differences are the stator laminations (.35mm on the HPI, .2mm on the Castle) and N35UH magnets instead of N38UH magnets. Not a big difference like with the 1517B motor and the 1515.

honestly the thickness of the stator laminations will have a bigger effect on price and performance than magnets will. So ease up a little dude. Ultimately you should be asking HPI why they speced a cheaper motor for such a large truck.
