Default OEM motors and ESC's

Guys,

The longer i spend in EP racing i notice that many motors and ESC's are the same or only small cosmetic differences between brands, it's a bit annoying to buy a new motor pull it apart and find the rotor and stack are the same as other motors you already own. I'd like to try and start a list of motors & ESC's that are rebranded or minor changes from whoever makes the OEM part, probably not gonna be popular but give it a go.

I checked some of the motors i have and found that GM, SP v3, Trinity Duo, Fantom are all the same rotor, stack and sensor only cosmetic packaging differences. It's pretty funny to hear people say oh my SP v3 is way faster than your GM or whatever, when they are the same thing internally. Also, it's obvious that SP, Hobbywing and those other ESC derivatives are from the same family.

Just throwing it out there for curiosity...
