Shoot! I wonder if I buy the castle kit, and send in the motor if they will send me a black one?
Im not going to pay crazy prices for the motor, im sure it wouldnt be much more to get a actual NEU.
You could try E-Mailing them to see if you could order a Traxxas-style motor separate. It may be possible to order one separate (from Tower, Amain, etc.) but only time will tell.
All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
