i don't get buying the esc clones. Castle has the best warranty available.
imo the warranty is worth the extra few bucks and the customer service.

well my ezrun 9t has been clocked at 120...
:|
dont claim a speed without a video to back it up... just makes you look like a little kid in a park....
I took the bait and ordered on of thoes leopard 540 4 poles... only to have it arrive and turn out to be a 2 pole... the shop refunded quickly... but if a manufacturer cant even list its motors correctly god help them....
Service is what we pay for... service is what we get...
the xerun setup is practically the same price as the castle... why would you cheap out?
only problem with living in the uk is too many people and not enough MMM's to go around... any idea when more are shipping to the distributor?
3 died at the last bash (all in one car, killed 2 before we realised the motor was causing it :S)

Ignorance is bliss I guess. If speed is the way you judge quality look at what esc Nick case runs. Doesn't make sense though you can gear up with any setup. Everyone is entitled to run what they want/like but don't bash cc here dude. They have been a fixture on this forum providing direct support to their customers. Let's see your company do that, oh wait they already have your money so their done with you. Sorry dude facts are facts cc is the best hands down for alot of reasons.

Obviously I have stirred up a hornets nest here, to be clear, I have used heaps of Castle ESC's , I had an E-Savage with a Medusa 36-60-3300 motor and Mamba Max ESC on 3s Lipo, No BEC, and that was the most solid truck, 3 yrs on it's still chiming away flawlessly. I have been vocal about issues I have had with MMM, MMP and Sidewinder SCT speedies, but a lot of that is frustration, the 3900kv Motor I have in my SCRT10 (Shortcourse motor) is a beast, brilliant item. However I don't believe in "blind love" either, if I have an esc with an issue, I'll say so, obviously sometimes a tad too bluntly.
Anyway, hooked up this Toro copy esc, it's big, go to calibrate it, identical calibration sequence to the Castle products (sus?) unlike Castle ESC's where you can adjust the neutral range when some radios won't calibrate, this doesn't, so that gremlin has been copied over as well. It will calibrate with my 4PL, but not my DX3R, and no way to get around it either. At this stage, I'll call this ESC a Castle Clone despite the different body etc. Capability wise, I think it may land short of the MMP, but the large case makes it bigger than the MMM so it's hard to position in the car.
Will be running it in my Hyper 10SC with a Leopard 36-65-2100kv motor on 4s Lipo, so will do back to back tests with this ESC and the MMP both with and without a BEC. Will be focusing on Amp draw and Durability (lots of heavy starts and stops)
Progress Score:
Castle MMP 1, China ESC, 1

Tried these on the bench last night, no BEC, both seemed fine on 2s Lipo, the Toro clone struggled on 4s Lipo though wheras the MMP performed the same. Anyone running either ESC with a strong servo (ie DS1015, SC1267MG etc) really needs an external BEC, but as far as the internal BEC, it seems the MMP is more reliable.

Wow, a thread with fastbaja bashing on cc, like we haven't seen that before.......
Sorry, you can't compare a company that clones others work, doesn't back their product, and has no passion for the hobby against one who does. It's stupid, period. Not to mention Mike doesn't sell any of this crap on here which should tell you something too.

Why are we even giving any credit to these thieves, other than to point out they are thieves and liars who cheaped-out and crapified (Chinafied IOW) a great, innovative and original American product?
I know fastbaja isn't American, but I don't really care how good or bad it is (nice to see they f'd it up tho) because its a stolen design made by thieves. If you buy it, you are supporting theivery. Doesn't excuse it no matter how cheap or good it is.

Hmmm...........I wonder if this rotor would work for a Pletty?
I do have a pletty that needs a rotor.
Edit! Ooops nevermind! Plettys are 4 pole motors. Won't work.
