    Brian thanks for contacting Patrick. This past Friday I left a email to my rep and voice message for her.

    Patrick did pm me directly. Thats a stand up guy and I appreciate this.

    A letter or quick heads up email to dealers could have avoided me pulling the hair out of my head literally . What got me steaming was the customer that just bought a Castle motor from me and called me a thief in an email. I work very hard at trying to be up front, honest and offer reasonable pricing with every customer. Calling me a thief is an insult I truly take to heart. Now that this customer has seen these threads and the invoice I posted, he's apologized we are good now.

    Thanks for making this right Patrick

    I'm off to running my sons Drifter and my Geico now. Have a good night.

      Castle screwed the dealers on these and is now having a sale. You can buy them directly from Castle for $70 each. Thats almost $100 less than their dealer cost. Get them while you can.

        This sucks big time Steve, Too bad all your motors are gone for $70, I would have snagged one!

        Forget them now....

            I agree.

              Thanks Brian but, I was going to get one from Steve if he had any left, I don;t need one that bad right now.

              Maybe they will start carrying a line of Leopards?

                Steven, will you be getting any more jackets for the 1520s made? You vultures snagged all those too! Haha
                Actually, I got the last 1520. Always wanted to try one in something. Glad Steve isn't getting the shaft on this one. I believe this little fiasco is actually gonna jump-start a bunch of new projects, and may give OSE a little boost in sales despite all the confusion!

                      Yep I decided to over motor it and run it on 6s1p and see if it stays cool.

                        I have never before seen Castle sell outrunner motors before. I don't see them anywhere else on their website. I do business with the Asians too. My guess is they ordered a big run and the motors didn't turn out well enough for them to claim them as their own. They'll probably get Leopard to build their motors now. At least Leopard has some pretty tight policies regarding the lowest price a dealer is allowed to sell their motors for.

                          Castle had a large Brushless outrunner for heli's for sale at Irchar this year. They had it in a 700 size (90 nitro) heli.

                              Steven, is there a way that they can buy the difference back from you, maybe in credit or dEEEEp discounts? It seem very poor biz conduct to cripple someone that sells their own products... I'd find it outrageous if they didn't...

                                I have bought my last Castle product as a result of how they are screwing over Steven and their other dealers. Bad move Patrick!
