What is really idiotic is when half of my LiPo packs have the positive and negative lead inputs reversed from what I was used to. Not fun having my ESC smell like a burnt pack of matches
.
Screws to hold the motor in are a tad different then the pitch of the pinion.
In this case I agree its quite poor to supply screws to mount a motor in the wrong size.
But eh what do you expect from a company that makes you buy a capacitor bank which should be included with the ESC optional so it don't blow out, and blame battery ripple voltages instead.
If you didn't notice I'm no castle fan
But I will say the NEIU Motor I got from them is quite well made (the ESC is kinda meh IMO).
