i don't think Castle should look at alternatives. let the prices go up if need be.

As it is, these motors are all faster than the best of the nitro buggy engines for more than $100-300 less.

A good O.S. buggy engine can go for more than $250... all the way up to $450 or more.

Some of the really competitive Rossi engines can go from $450 to $700 or more, and that's without a pipe. So, to me....it is what it is. All the brushless motors last far longer, are more effecient and require less maintenance than the nitros.

What i have noticed the last couple of days is it seems like Tower has the brushless E-Revos back in stock at their holiday prices instead of it being the normally $50-60 dollars cheaper in the summer. my local hobby store is selling the Monster Castle combos for $80 more than they were a week ago.

They're still selling them too.

It seems like most of the guys who can afford a $300 combo can afford a $400 combo.

Again...if that's what has to happen, then it's worth it imo to keep such a high standard in motors.
