What is concerning to me is the lack of response from Castle on this, is it top secret or something? Are the magnets in this HPI motor budget stuff (like the Flux Alphastar motor) and would we get better results substituting it for a Castle 1410 3800kv Shortcourse motor.
from the reviews and motor temps i have seen so far, it looks like castle kind of cheaped out on this motor just like they did with the alphastar motor. the sct3800 motor will run cooler for sure. if you are only going to be running 2s, you will be fine with the stock motor. if you want/need to bump it up to 3s, i would swap to a 3800.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
