Castle and TP motors are my two go-to manufacturers. There's nothing wrong with Castle motors. Quite the contrary actually. The only recurring problem I'm aware of (this isn't saying that there might not be others that I'm just not aware of) are the rotors of the 1717 which have a disproportionate reputation for delaminating and grenading the rotor. Full disclosure, I haven't used HW motors as I prefer Castle ESCs.

I’d listen to Diem among a few other of us. Your going to need to upgrade a bit before even attempting 130/140 along with practicing.

I love using castle stuff, nice to run sensored, especially if you're running big motor and gears

I’d do some more ESC research before you buy a Hobbywing for speed running.
I’m only going by what someone told me to be quite honest i don’t mind throwing some decent cash at it the castles have definitely been drowning my attention I’m just asking y’all guy’s opinions this guy only runs traxxas and I don’t really see him doing many upgrades apart from the odd replacements

A lot of the guys on YouTube run Castle motors (in addition to TP Power, etc) in the high 100's. I occasionally see some of them running a HW can, but I almost never see them run a HW ESC.
