Who says it's a made in china product Aangel? perhaps it's a German manufacturer. Who knows. I guess time will tell, it's not hard to judge the brand of motor once they launch it. my guess is they are aiming for segmented magnets. that's the only reason what makes the feigao motors less good.

I will chime in with my two cents on CC quality. I have purchased three MM ESCs. My first purchase was shortly after the product was released for sale to the public. I recently purchased two additional units. I have to say that I was a little disappointed. It appears that Castle has made a few trade-offs with regards to quality in an effort to meet demand and keep pricing low. Maybe its just minor stuff...but I noticed the quality of wire and the solder joints were not as good as earlier models. I hope the MMM doesn't follow that approach. BTW...I also have a few Mamba 25s and I noticed similar deficiencies there. Has anyone else seen this? What are your thoughts?

I wonder...has Monster Mike established enough of a following to R&D and market his own signature line of ESC? I know folks have talked but it seems to me that there is ample expertise here to atleast design a good product. The problem is getting it thru production and to market...

I can't speak for everyone, but I know I don't mind spending top dollar as long as I know I'm getting the best product.

I havent seen that but I sure can see what you are talking about, meaing I understand why that might happen. Castle's business has doubled in the last year, and they are most likely very busy, and would rather just produce them cheap and fast, then repair later down the road. Of course they probably don't plan on it, but they are probably aware of it.
