I can imagine the teamdrivers do get the better motors with maybe precise handwound stators, better strength/balanced rotors and ESC's with better spec FET's
This is mainly only the case with these companies that offer their tier structure when it comes to motors. Bronze, silver, gold type platforms mean you will sell poop to customers and charge a higher premium for motors that should be your standard. I’ve tested quite a few and been on teams when the cherry picking for team drivers were common practice. Take a companies lowest motor offered compared to their bells and whistles motor. 98% of the time the only difference is the rotor strength. Sensor phases arent better between the two.
