Actually, even though Neu is a higher-end motor, the Castle motors are a better fit for vehicle use IMO. Not only are Neu motors open for dirt debris (which can be covered of course), but the use of the stiff coil wires outside the motor may fatigue and break from all the bouncing around in a ground vehicle.

I think the Leopard motors would be better off if they also used noodle wires.

Anyway, didn't CC comment on the motors at some point saying they used less expensive magnets and thicker core laminations?
