I'm running almost all CC escs and motors and am a great supporter of the company. But if these are real results - then I agree with fb5b that CC maybe should reconsider building parts to other company's specs if the Castle name is on it. Am I bashing CC for saying this here?

It's anecdotal evidence from a single person who loves to post negative comments about Castle products.

We have dyno tested this motor, and are fine with it's performance. It peaks around 88% efficiency.

It's a different motor than the 3800kV Castle motor -- but that doesn't make it a bad motor. It's better than pretty much any other motor out there in that form factor -- except perhaps for the Castle 3800kV motor.

And the difference in performance between the two motors is around 2% efficiency.

For Castle, that 2% is worth the extra cost. For a high volume product in an OEM RTR, it's not.
