I have the 2250kv T8 (truggy motor) and the castle 2200kv. Ran them in the same truck and the Castle motor always had more go. Not just a little bit but an easily felt amount. Also the Castle motor ran much cooler on same gearing. As a matter of fact I had to drop two teeth on the pinion to make the T8 motor run at similar temps as the Castle motor. By then the power difference was freakin huge.

What I did love about the T8 motor was it's smoothness. Not just when ran with the RX8 but also it felt considerably smoother than the Castle motor when paired up with the Mamba Monster. Smoother takeoffs but also smoother braking and it just feels like the car wanted to coast for longer with the Tekin motor once you back off.

I suppose both motors have their ups and downs but I just love the crazy on tap power of the Castle motor.
