I ordered pinion gears from them. I had them in 3 days and they are were made by robinson racing for them. I do not know of anyone that has tried there motors though.

I too have ordered the pinions. The service was good. I haven't seen any of their motors that appeal to me yet though. The kv rating on this ones that they offer now are too low, and they come in this funky format that allows the use of the stock engine mounting holes in the chassis. It makes battery placement a PITA.

Being European and as they are made in CZ, I've not ordered from Mega Motors USA.
I do have several Mega Motors tho, 2x 16/15/3, 2x22/30/3 and a 22/30/2 in my boats and planes and I am very impressed by them, being 6pole they are very torquey, and have kevlar wraped rotors so they are tollerant of over or under gearing, I cant think of another motor I'd rather have for the price, there not that much more than Feagios over here.

I'm not sure how they would do in cars tho, the magnets hold the rotor in place like a brushed motor only stronger, unlike 2 pole motors which spin freely. I knew this as coging before I came here, but you use that for something else so I don't know what to call it, I can say that I can't turn a bare shaft with my bare hands tho, so coming off throttle would be like setting some drag brake on the controller, which may not be ideal.

They have 4 large cooling holes in the front and back plates like the Neu which you might not like.

I haven't tried drag brake, maybe it would help me, I think the Neu motors are very hard to turn like the Mega's, and folks race them so it may not be an issue.

The nature of there 6pole design means they do have large KV steps between the windings but a 22/45/1E at 2100KV should do the job, geared appropriately.
