Were you willing to get 100 of them made? I don't think they can get the car software on the hydra control board without a ton of time, matter of fact I know it would take a lot of programming. Stacking boards is a lot easier.

Personally I don't like the idea of an easily available SHV car controller. SHV planes take a ton of skill to pilot, you have to work up. SHV boats are in the hands of older skilled drivers as well, you won't find many 14 year old kids running 12s setups. Put a SHV car controller out and suddenly every 16 year old with a paycheck will want a 45 volt revo just because it will be the biggest and baddest on the block. No way in hell I would sell it unless I knew who was buying. The last thing I would want to hear about is how Billy shorted his 10s 4400 pack and blew his finger off with 8000 watts.

Sorry for the rant, it is a discussion that I have had with a few ESC manufacturers and they all say the same thing about high voltage car setups: 6s is dangerous enough. I would love to have a 10s setup, but I don't trust the average RC car enthusiast with it. The folks on this site are for the most part WAY above average.
