Thing is, either of them can win races. Once you are proficient with setting them up for your needs you can't fault them for race results. They are both very popular choices at the track these days. I don't see that many people using Castle in the A-Main, but I'm sure there are a few around. Also consider that some new motor bearings would keep your current system performing well and save you some money.
I am running a Castle ESC with a tekin 1900kv. Its been great and but the top case is broken now and fan blades are missing and want a new ESC that will perform just as good or better.

I typically blame my driving skills on my results anyways, unless of course something actually does malfunction. My Castle ESC has been flawless for 2+ years. I just want to try something else now really, but no I am not sponsored nor do I have disposable income.

Thanks for our comment, I think I am leaning towards the HW, and yeah saving $ for tires is ideal!
