why not run the castle 2200 which is rated for 6s and gear to compensate.

48k RPM seems really high to me. Plus if I'm going to spend the money I'd rather have an ideal setup, which would be closer to 35k RPM.

The other thing I'm not sure about is the quality of the MMMv3 since they still seem to be exploding fairly often. On the other hand I don't feel like waiting for the Tekin system to get a real test from users.

I'm in the same boat. Im waiting for the tekin. I hope they are reliable. I might go for a castle if they released a lower kv motor. I just don't want to buy a castle have it meltdown and then wait weeks to get it replaced.

If Castle had the 1800kv motor tomorrow I'd buy their system. I'm thinking no matter what 1/8 scale system you buy it can and probably will fry itself so it's a matter of customer service and CC seems to have the competitors beat. The Tekin system looks good but they've got the highest price tag by a pretty good bit. And also I don't really care about 'in house' testing, the only kind of test that matters with these systems is handing them over to idiots and letting them loose with it.

I'm thinking a MMMv3 with mechanical brakes and proper gearing should be fairly reliable... sadly the 2200kv is too much for 6s.
