I've been following this topic for a while now and wanted to chime in... First of all: I bought LOTS of Castle stuff in the past years, from the small 1/18 Mamba-25 ESC and motors to the big Phoenix ICE 120HV. I buy Castle products because I like them. This was my biggest order at Castle when they had that sale about 2 years ago:

As you can probably see I like CC, spent lots of $ on their products and only had one problem with the customer service a few months ago.

But I'm not here to bash everyone who not likes Castle like a few people are doing in this topic. And this is the reason why I'm posting. I don't like the attitude to the non-Castle people. Seriously, I can't stand it. Different people have different opinions but some of you obviously don't respect them. It's a shame...

Many of you think everyone is copying from Castle Creations although their designs are very different. Look at it from the other side. As far as I know Hacker, Lehner and Plettenberg were all earlier on the market than Castle with their products. Just like Castle was ahead of Leopard, Turnigy, Hobbywing etc. If I would think just as some of you, I could now determine that Castle copied their stuff from Hacker, Lehner and Plettenberg. This would make no sense, just as saying that every chinese company copies from Castle. Castle Creations didn't invented the brushless motor. I bet they watched how other manufactors made their motors before starting to produce their own.

I'm buying Castle Creations for different reasons: good price/quality ratio and they have customer service. My favorite ESC company is Quark however and my favorite Motor company is Plettenberg. I also got some ESC's and motors from Hacker and MGM. I'll keep buying from CC in the future just like I will do from Turnigy and other Chinese brands.

About 90% of the people who are flaming on anti-Castle people buy Turnigy LiPo's. Shut up and buy Flightpower and Hacker LiPo's.
