The Hobbystar escs appear to be rebranded Hobbywings, they might not be of the same quality as a real Hobbywing and are probably limited somehow compared to its Hobbywing counterpart. I'm not saying that they are bad, but I think they are fairly new to the market so there is not much information about them yet.Hello Slick2500,
What is your opinion on the Hobbystar ESC's are they as good as their motors?
Thanks
The Castle gets hot in the Kraton. I run it in my Typhon.
It seems they do sensored esc's at a reasonable price?The Hobbystar escs appear to be rebranded Hobbywings, they might not be of the same quality as a real Hobbywing and are probably limited somehow compared to its Hobbywing counterpart.

Yeah, but for bashing you barely notice any difference between sensored and sensorless.It seems they do sensored esc's at a reasonable price?
I am pretty sure he meant what he typed new, as in the most recent Castle 2200kv motor not the Neu.First off, those motors up there aren’t “equal” to a neu castle 1515 2200kv at all. Not even close. Let me get this out of the way, you cannot buy neu castle motors anymore. The only ones available are on ebay and they’re China knockoffs.
Neu Motors use extremely high quality magnets and a hobbywing or any of those other motors won’t match the quality. They will run hotter and not deliver the same performance at all. If you want a Neu Motor, you’ll have to head to poseidon RC, that’s where Steven Neu is at now.
Not saying the other motors are bad, but they’re definitely not even close to any neu’s and I have had many of those motors. If your stock motor is running hot, you’ll have to get something bigger, I recommend a hobbystar 4082 or a hobbystar 4092.
But Poseidon makes some nice motors.Oh. I thought he meant neu and didn’t know it was spelled that way (mostly because every time I’ve heard the word “new” in front of a castle motor it was referring to neu. Lol..
Hi mate, are saying that there are no motors that are the same size as stock that won't run hot with a slightly heavy rig? So a new engine mount arrangement would be required?First off, those motors up there aren’t “equal” to a neu castle 1515 2200kv at all. Not even close.

Edit: As for the other 4274 motors, don’t even consider them. They’re too small for an 8th scale MT. The only 4274 motors you could put into an 8th scale MT geared for 50mph and not run hot are Neu Motors, but theyre expensive, so just buy a bigger motor that’s just cheaper.
That is exactly what I’m saying, but the second part is not correct. You can use longcan motors as long as they’re 40/42mm wide on the stock motor mount. I recommend the hobbystar 4092 motor but many like the leopard 4092.Hi mate, are saying that there are no motors that are the same size as stock that won't run hot with a slightly heavy rig?
