Wish that was in my GT!!! Hopefully that's a sign that they'll be available soon.
I wonder how these will be viewed by the majority of RC'ers, you know the haters will flood in with "Tekin clone!" Some people were already starting to dig on the Viper 1/10 motors, even though they are a totally different size and design than a Tekin 1/8.
That is what it looks like. Sure would be nice to have a different sensored based 1512/1515 motor in my collection. So far the Tekno neu's and Tekin 1/8 motors are the smoothest around in the American market. The Castle 1/8 motors are ok. But then Castle said there were updated rotors around to make them better/smoother. We'll see. They also said that their rotors where optimized for Y winds.
Yea, dogging the Viper motors was pretty bad in that thread. There will always be over the top fan boys hating on anything new/different/similar.
