    Is this a Leopard Motor or something else

    Purchased a Osprey from HK. After over a month I got my boat. Now in the pictures of the boat on HK it looks like a Leopard motor even though the Jacket is covering the motor slightly http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=11892. So I get the motor and it sort of looks like a leopard, but has some differences over all my other leopard. No leopard logo is one and. I have seen leopard for sale with the "LBP" like this and like this with just "L", but I never seen the wires come out the end bell on any of the 4074s before. Only the smalller leopards. So is this a Leopard and HK is just wiping the names off like they do everything else? I honestly think it is a Leopard HK just finding a way to rebrand, I just want to get other opinons. Motor is for sale by the way. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ad.php?t=25038

    Regarding the wire exits, Quote Steven V - "All the motors I carry from leopard "WILL be switching over" to back exit at some point."

      The part number stenciled on the outside is right out of their catalog, thats the first indication its genuine. Second the front motor plate is 100% the same as a Leopard. Unlike a Keda/Saker that has a different bolt pattern. The odd part is the rear exit of the motor wires but we all knew that is/was coming as Steve has stated his new series will have the motor wires exiting the rear. I cant believe no one has purchased your motor for the price you are asking. I'm tempted myself. And I have 3 4074 2150kv motors sitting NIB.

        Thanks guys for the info and conformation. I was going over this left and right and everything seemed to indicated a Leopard I just wanted to be 100% sure since I was selling it. Don't want to offer someone samething that it isn't. The rear endball just messed with with me lol. Makes sense now though. I thought that was a good price also, not sure way it hasn't sold yet.

              It's a leopard. Leopard sells to many sources with many different badges and colors. They are all the same.

                  I'm not sure what vendors will have which. I requested ours come out the back.
