To be honest, that is not a very wise way to do business. I would never allow a employee to say anything close to that if I owned Castle.

Personally I like the fact that Joe acknowledges that we are going to try to use stuff out of spec and tries to help us with it anyhow. I hate calling up companies CS and ask "if I did this, how would it turn out?" and get "it is not covered under warranty" as the only reply...At least Joe says "well if you do that I'd do this to prevent this, but just so you know, if you do blow it its not under warranty when being ran like that."

I do, however, find it true that a very small, select group of the RC population, basically the users of this forum (which is very small even in comparison to just the electric RC population, in fact), are going to run anything more than 6S on a very consistent basis. And I still haven't even ventured past running 4S on any of my vehicles.

BUT - and a huge BUT here. I think at the very least CC should take Pheonix HV controller, give it some car programming, and up the current rating to at least 150amps, and make it available. It wouldn't hard to do (they just have to wire more fets in to add amp rating - its basically what they did to make the 110 in the first place). The only hitch they should imply is that mechanical brakes are REQUIRED. To be safe they could call it a 10S max ESC and that would be fine too.
