If Castle had the 1800kv motor tomorrow I'd buy their system. I'm thinking no matter what 1/8 scale system you buy it can and probably will fry itself so it's a matter of customer service and CC seems to have the competitors beat. The Tekin system looks good but they've got the highest price tag by a pretty good bit. And also I don't really care about 'in house' testing, the only kind of test that matters with these systems is handing them over to idiots and letting them loose with it.

I'm thinking a MMMv3 with mechanical brakes and proper gearing should be fairly reliable... sadly the 2200kv is too much for 6s.
