Think of it as more of a combo than a new product.

The Velineon 3500 is a Feigao motor.

That motor was made by Feigao for Traxxas. It's not just a rebadge, because if it were then you'd be able to buy it under a different name.

I could be wrong but isn't it just a 7L with a screw on end bell?

The kv matches up pretty well, but it's definitely not a 7L.

Nope, it's some kind of custom-spec'd motor; rotor's somewhere between an S-can and L-can in size. But that's what I meant. The ESC was built by Traxxas, and the motor was specified by Traxxas for Feigao to make.
