This is exactly what drove the question. I had a feeling it would be clear as mud.

Just curious how club racers pick motors with their own dollars.

Granted I'm sure there's some "soft" features in the premium motors, like more usable and accurate can timing. Though I'm not sure that matters a whole lot with ESC timing available, so long as you work in more relative timing numbers and don't worry too much about what the hashes on the can mean.
