The T8 2250 that I run has the original version 1 rotor in it and is still perfectly fine. Admittedly I run mech brakes and clutch which means that the motor is worked as hard as direct drive. They have had hardly any failures from the version 2 rotors so I do not think that is a reason to discard them. I have to admit that I have not heard of a castle motor failing but being made by Neu they are quality. My only issue with Castle motors is that they are silly KV ratings for racing and do get hot because of this. You would be better off if you go for a Neu motor then you can get a sensible KV motor. I do prefer sensored systems like the RX8 as I have seen the castle and losi get confused on a slow corner and require a marshal to give it a push.
