You know what I notice? its funny how everyone bashes Castle products and as soon as some sharp marketing guy sticks the name "Neu" with "Castle" there products become gold! interesting how that works..........
We bash the Hydra esc's. The HV series in particular. Why? Because they are over priced and the quality is terrible. The Neu/Castle motors arent a marketing scheme. The design is Steve Neu's own. The quality and power are EXCELLENT! That's why they are recieving praise from a lot of people. Not because of marketing. Seems the stuff Castle makes for land vehicles is of much more quality than the boat stuff. My MMM controller has also been quite abused for over a year and still works flawlessly.
If someone is interested, i have a 4074-2200kv for sale on ebay:

looks like its b/t a 1900 and 2200 neu size.
Whats the cost on that big red can?
The 1600kv version looks like it could be a great 5s2p motor in a 43" Cat..?

Neu 39 mm
Leopard 40 mm

I wonder if the clones are related to what Traxxas has built for their new boat? Pure speculation.
I want a link to that HOSS. I have a home for two of them!
That would be good if this is what Traxxas is using a leopard motor
the HOSS

you forget one important part, land vehicles are NOT DIRECT DRIVE they have transmissions, diffs, silicone filled diffs, slipper clutches, etc. which give and reduce shock loads. thats what they are there for.
I used a hydra120 in a 6xl powered revo 3.3 converted to brushless its still going strong as a matter of fact I have that esc in my Pspec hydro now. 2 years later.
Does the hydra 120 have brakes? Or did you use the servo driven disc brakes? I was more referring to the capability to run 6s reliably on the lv MMM esc and not the hydras. I know the amps don't compare in cars/trucks.
I used the servo driven brakes the hydra does have reverse but no brakes.
Have you ran the MMM in a boat on 6s? how did it hold up if you did??
