To double check I threw the 4000kv HPI motor in my Hyper 10SC geared for 35mph, again, 151 amp spikes and threw the fan of my HPI Q Base (MMP) esc on within a matter of minutes.

This doesn't sound like Castle-bashing to me - it sounds like actual data from testing in applications that these motors are designed for. I would be unhappy with this 4000kv motor if it was giving these results.
I also agree that the 200kv difference should not be a major factor here. It's a 5% difference.
I'm running almost all CC escs and motors and am a great supporter of the company. But if these are real results - then I agree with fb5b that CC maybe should reconsider building parts to other company's specs if the Castle name is on it. Am I bashing CC for saying this here?
