Fiegao and the Castle Neu are not even close in performance.. LOL The Castle is a ton more efficient, is capable of more hp, and will run a ton cooler and have longer run times on the same config. They may be at similar kv ratings, but that is all they have in common :)

PS at 200 (or more) your motors magnets start to demagnetize and you do damage.. Running that same setup the castle would be 130-160 range at most. If you don't get a Castle Neu, at the very least get a Medusa v2 60mm, don't forget to use the discount code if it's still listed.
