Snell, so what exactly are you running? I would just like to get a kit that works, ~1500w, is reliable, and not stupidly expensive. That means motor, ESC, battery, throttle, and all the extra necessary bits and pieces required (like torque arm, wiring, etc).

I know I could assemble all the parts I need from various places, like the hub motor from one place, R/C aircraft HV ESC, throttle from someplace else, yadda yadda. But that's a PITA, not to mention the overall cost is about the same from what research I've done.

Too bad Castle hasn't come up with kits. I would feel much better about getting something that I know will work from a US company who stands behind their product.
