Castle Motors ??

What' s going on with Castle Motors?

Very good prices for 1512, 1518, 1520 and 1717 motors

Too late for me, I bought 2 x NEU 1512 1850kV for my Genesis hull ...

Seems they are being discontinued. I grabbed a couple myself.

couple of other threads about this somewhere on the forum. Appears they screwed over their dealers, including Steven at OSE, pretty badly.

Jim, I'm not sure why you keep saying that? It has been posted numerous times that Castle is reimbursing Steven, along with other dealers for the loss. It is also listed on the sale page that dealers having stock affected by the sale should contact castle.

Steven has even verified this on the forum. Check the other threads out.

Good to hear. I stand corrected. I think I read that MAYBE they were going to do that. Hadn't read that they actually are. Last comment I saw from Steven was that he was steaming mad and done with Castle.

[johnf]

Yeah I remember that too, and I do agree Castle could have gone about this better. BUT, it is a pretty good thing they are doing to help the dealers recover their losses.. IF they follow through. I imagine they will, being that it is posted on the castle website sale page.

Not really. Your motors are far better!

[Alfa Spirit]

Yes I know that my NEU Motors are better than Castle but a Castle 1512 for 60US$ is not a bad deal

@ Steven : Thanks again

Its a great deal. Can't hurt to pick some up at those prices, i you have some extra $$. My friends in the hobby business are actually buying them at those prices to resell.

Guys, if you look closely at the bottom of the page or at the invoice, you'll see that the motors were made in China, that explains the price (huge margin for CC)...

[johnf]

Look closely at the invoice?? Isn't it stamped really big on the back of the motor? I thought that was common knowledge.

[Make-a-Wake]

Yep.............China.

[Alfa Spirit]

In fact Castle Creations motors are made in China, I' m surprised

I thought they were made in USA

[johnf]

If anyone gets their motors in and didn't know they were Chinese built, I'll gladly give you 50 bucks shipped! LOL

I understand why Leopard motors are very similar to Castle motors
