looks fast.its got four lipos and a castle motor/speedo? so its almost twice the cost of a full mod obr
just sayin...
not that I'm a brushless fan over GAS
but with this motor for only 75bucks and a esc for under $70 and run it on two $65 6s packs for 6s2p, it can be done for much less...

ONLY A THOUGHT! don't no one hit me now!
Yah I would never put fire starting Chinese stuff in a 1600 dollar truck.... Not looking to start a debate I know everyones budgets are different I would just be running high quality products so my 65c lipos and brushless setup would be over 1k. I drive cars and fly planes with buddies who run that stuff and pretty consistent catastrophic failures. Typically batteries and esc fires. Motors seem to hang in there though. Again my comments are in regards to the choices I would make to each there own.
To funny!
Castle is made in China!!!!
the esc listed is a very trusted and solid esc, that does not fail do to its low price point
Fire starting, what a joke!
sounds to me those fires are from those who don't run the correct esc, motor, lipo setups.. they should stick to rubber bands! [:-]
or ones who want to justify running High dollar stuff when its just not needed anymore to get the job done
and by the way, most all of the RTR esc, motors in the cars and trucks we run that are brushless comes from china including the overpriced CC2028 motor
and I love gas vs brushless, IMO
