Nice posts asheck.

Are the motors clones of Castle? No, if they were they would be identical from the heatsink to windings. Build qualilty would lack though. Almost all motors on the market today look alike. It's the build quality that matters.

Are the Castle 15xx motors the same as Neu's 15xx. Not really, but they are based of them. The Tekno Neu's are true Neu motors. The Tekno neu's that I have don't run the same as my Castle motors. The difference between them is the powerband.

Feigao, Nemesis, Wanderer are Hacker clones. I've used the Feigao and Nemesis before and I can say the Nemesis branded ones were a bit smoother then the Feigao. Better bearings perhaps. Peeps were buying Feigao's and liked them. Not everybody could afford a Hacker motor that cost 3 times more for the same kv.

Same situation here. Not everybody can afford a brand new good ol' Castle motor. There are plenty of people out there that would love to have a big motor, but can't afford/justify the cost. And for those people the Tacon would be just.
