But you are wrong in one regard....any parts that are out there for a PTW fit a CTW..

The first batch of CTWs used a clone of the Gen 3 electronics and were released fully 2 years after the PTW came out in Gen 4. The parts were not compatible, this is not really even disputable.

Again...as for compatibility...how can you comment when you have never even seen one. Big surprise that the PTW forums bash CTW's.

Like I said, I have never seen one, but put one on my bench and I'll tell you in five minutes. Try reading my post again.

The real question is for how long, and what are the performance changes bewteen components. I can tell you everything I've seen in a PTW, and I can tell by the sound and the feel how it is going to perform, and by the performance what is lacking and how to correct it. You build enough of them, you have enough of them cross your bench with shit done by every kind of yahoo, you get the idea.

But it took a few years and alot of clones of a common item. The PTW has only one clone, and neither are common.

Anyway Brad...no one is doubting you are King of the PTW's.....but why comment on things you have no DIRECT experience with? I would NEVER doubt ANYTHING you had to say on PTWs and I go on record as saying I have sought your expertise on the subject.......so.....? But it seems anything you might have to say on CTWs is speculation to say the least......correct?

For the most part, yes. However, I have consulted with the best PTW guys in the world, many times on may things, and I'll defer to their word. Put your CTW on my bench if you want to know the ultimate comparison.
I still have that motor for you.
