Castle vs Tacon vs Leopard motor review

[florianz]

hi,

I've been running the Leopard 4074-2000 for some months now and I'm quite happy with it. Best about it: it's not getting very hot, I would say less hot then the MR 3680-1600 I have had before.

I run it on 5s in a truggy. I miss a bit the torque, compared to the motors I have had before (losi celorin 1600kv, MR 3680 1600), but that's due to the higher kv. I really had to get used to the 2000kv.

What's not so cool are the motor wires, as they are stiff and winding ends, but the MR was even worse. The Losi had solder tabs, pretty comfy.

the wrapping of the rotor is not "beautiful" but it works. I don't think it's carbon fiber.
It's not a high end motor, but a very good motor, for the money paid, has sufficient power.
