Castle looking ESC coming to hobbyking

[slimthelineman]

Why does everyone only pick on the Chinese companies? I think I was the only one to complain when Slovak coppied cc with their novalink that looks exactly like the castle link. So it's ok when an American company does it? Leave the lipos alone too. Show me where else I can get 4 2s and 2 6s and 2 4s for under $250. Same stuff as here. How is it any different when an American company buys overseas cells and puts their sticker on them for a huge profit?

I highly doubt that the NovaLink is a clone or duplicate of Castle's. Novak, being an American company that has been in the r/c business, and business in general, for a long time isn't that stupid.

As for the batteries; buying cheap cells and slapping a label on them and then charging huge upcharge is just explotation no matter where the company is located. That being said, a lot of the non-"Chinese" batteries that were mentioned do more than just buy cells and slap a label on them.

Because in this case Hobby King is directly and blatantly stealing from Castle.

I don't see a problem for CC link.
It's a simple usb serial converter.
I have FMA, Hyperion links they looks all same.
Most of those chips have the same components usage.
Ps Hyperion link see my MMM esc, but the CC software doesn't see the Hyperion link.
