So, long story short, even if the manufacturer is Hobbywing, it really doesn't matter. This is a product designed and manufactured to Orions specification and with such a good name, they wouldn't dare tarnish it by releasing a new range of products that are no good.

Which I think in my industry is outsourcing - you get things done to your spec by someone else, no labour, factory base costs.
