It's kinda funny, I was just at Kershiz looking at that 5692 for a Boat I'm building to run on 12s. The price is def friendly enough but I'm also thinking of this beast here;

That would be nice..... for an r/c enthusiast. Are you still here? shouldn't you be shooting something?

A "special" friend Chris? Arct1k travels with mens:lol:

Wasn't there already a discussion about these motors in the Castle section? I believe the topic was Leopard cloning CC motors, funny how Kershiz (good nickname Bondo) is basically touting they're clones. In the CC thread Patrick was explaining how they could only make them cheaper than a cc motor by skimping on the laminations. The big one is tempting for a large scale project I'm contemplating though.

Oh, trying to call me out huh...

I tell you what, ride my coat-tails a bit and you will see how great the lst is... Whoops. TOO LATE. You already did that...

Amazing how I can take an 8month break and still have cooler stuff that you Harold. Maybe if you cut down on the porn, and lust over Jeff's "coin purse" you might be able to get something done. And wash your hands, the jergens is making your keyboard all slimy.

As far as me shooting stuff, I do more building than shooting. If you thought my rc collection was excessive you should see the other "toys"... HAHAHAHA (none of them infate so stop being jealous).

5b jealousy will make even the most level headed person lash out. Tisk tisk.

>on topic: Like Lincpimp that 22xx size motor has only a 6mm shaft. Besides disappointing the wife, what do you guys think about the 6mm shaft?

Someone needs to get one of these motors.

Open it up and take pictures for us.

We need to see how well made they are. :yes:

Hmm, had a 5b... Moved it on, 2wd is for mamma's boys who have feltching fantasies...

6mm give better pinion choices for mod1. Not sure what coices you have for mod1.5. I kinda like the kershaw reduction setup, with this motor and 10s lipo for the 5b. Pity it is not 4wd.

So far so good - but it looks like we still need a retail distributor.

looks like castle knock offs....

indeed.

Couple of places to buy them:

Little screamers = meh :whistle:

Not argueing but on Offshore Electrics obvisously NEU is prefered but I hadn't seen anything negative mentioned of them ?
With them being inexpensive one would have limited expectations of course.

I would guess these Leopard motors are on the same page as the OK Hobby 4-pole I'm trying out. They can get the job done, and are better than 2-pole XL Feigao clones, but still can't match a Castle, Neu, or Tekin in quality or performance.
