Look at these motors. They look like copies of the Mamba Max motors.

They are the same, Dynamite's BL motor manufacturing must be under the same roof as Castle Creation's.

I think it's a copy. The mm7700 is rated for 8 cells and the Dynamite 7700 is rated for 12v. I don't think there would be a 2v difference for no reason

all you know is that the KV ratings are the same as Mamba
they could have entirely different construction or different quality components

i always wondered about that, 12v on a 7700 kv is just sick fast. might be a typo.

Well I do know that a 7700 on 8 cells is a beast. I tried it out in my Gravel Hound yesterday and even at half throttle it was screaming.

Just because it's the same kv doesn't mean anything. The vxl and the xcelorin look the same too.

These look exactly the same, along with same Kv, along with the fact Dynamite makes 1/18 motors just likes the 1/18 Mamba motors. Coincidence? I think not.

Dynamite is usually known for better quality than that!

Yes, they are knockoff CM36 motors.

what leads you to that conclusion?
I'm curious to hear why you think they are the same

having 3 screws doesn't tell you anything about the quality of the components inside the motor
I'm not even sure how you know that it has 3 from looking at the pictures linked above
