His point is that there might be 100 people tops that would actually use it to its potential right now. That isn't enough to develop a new controller. If I made ESCs I wouldn't spend the time on a HV car controller yet, the market isn't there.

I own 2 HV cars right now. I already used 12S in my BPP truggy. I ran it 10S a few days ago. A few members here run HV set ups. It is also not the size of the vehicle as most 1/8 scale vehicles do fine with the right Kv motor. BTW I ran 10S lipos with my Schulze 40.160 and Neu 1521 1y. My 12S set up was the same Schulze 40.160 and the Hacker ION-X motor. There is a lot of people switching to HV systems and if the rest knew the benefits, they would too. One example: I ran my BPP truggy with one 36V A123 pack a couple months back and my run time was 28 minutes. After the run my Schulze wasn't ever warm and my Hacker was only warm. This was in a 80+ degrees day.
