How long does everyone think this will last? My dilemma is that I'm going to be picking up either a buggy or truggy, depends on how much I sell everything for.
I don't race, just bash.
I'm mainly debating between the 1512 and 1518, some say the 1518 is too powerful, beings that I don't race, is there such thing as too powerful?
So, do I pick up a motor while the prices are good, hoping that it'll be the right one? or Wait until i get the next vehicle and pray that the prices are still low?

Sorry if this is the wrong place, I didn't know if it deserved it's own thread. Please move if needed.

Maybe I'm speculating, but IMO, this will last as long as the stock does.

"The motors are sold as is. That means no warranty. Not because we don't trust them, but because they came from limited runs and we simply don't have replacements here to offer for returned products."

This leads me to believe, these motors are being discontinued, at least for now. Perhaps every motor model in the sale, or perhaps only some. I don't know.

Can someone from Castle, please confirm or deny this?

Seems obvious to me from his post that these are motors that did not make it into full production for one reason or another, and seem to have no future with CC. Hence no warrenty. CC obviously learned how to make them better and moved on with the motors currently in regular stock.

Kind of like buying a Delorian. No warrenty and no replacement parts, which means if you bought one you are stuck with it no matter what happens to it. Once it breaks it becomes a paperweight. For the price what can anyone expect? At those prices it is a throw away. Put it in, use it, and once it fries you toss it in the trash. Sounds simple to me.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.

Some of them are discontinued. The 15xx motors are just WAY overstocked...

good to know. I hope a 1520 is still available when I get my government cheese at the first of the month. (thanks taxpayers)
