        Leopard, Top power and now Tacon as well as Fine Designs all use Singapore bearings.

        Castle uses the nicer Taiwanese bearings.

          Some of the car specific motors are 2 pole but, you can pretty much tell by the specs, very low watt rating and they are usually designated with the ROAR "turns" numbers like 12.5 8.5T etc... those are 2 pole motors.

          The older Tacon 2 pole motors are going out the door really cheap. $29, for 540 & $11 for the 20mm ones...

            Every ones at it, One thing for shore it certainly helps keep the cost down considerably for the end users which has to be good but i think you can spec what sort of prices you want to pay & they will make accordingly. Theirs no r&d work to do because they have allready done that & absorbed that cost into their own motors, So its just manufacturing cost & materials for other people that want their own brand of motors. Take the amount of different hulls around & we all know a lot are basically the same hulls under a different name. I believe hulls like the Apparition cat are sold under several names also the Venom excite hydro hull, Dragon Red Evo & Vortex i believe are the same design hulls + many more. Thanks Martin.

                          I have 188,000 miles (about 300k km) on my 3800 and it makes over 400HP!

                          I just bought a tacon 3674 so I'll see how it performs...it was listed as a Leopard the day before I ordered it, then when I went back it was changed to Tacon.

                            Whatever they wanna call all these "like" motors.........the LBP's are 4 pole and the LBA's are two pole so you know what you're getting.

                            For those still wanting to stay with 540XL's, this series looks killer......4 pole 540XL's for $54. comes in several different kv's.

                            Hopefully Steven will start offering these 4 polers and possibly phase Feigao out...........

                            NEED PARALLEL CONNECTORS?? QUALITY 5.5MM, 8MM, 8 AND 10 AWG, GET THEM HERE: http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...est!&highlight=

                              Someone posted that they were slightly more efficient than the 40mm motors but, I dunno?
