I will sign the waiver and get a few SHV Monster Max or just a 12S capable Monster Max will do.
Lutach,

Haven't started working on an HV version yet. We could go as high as 8S with some part changes on the current Monster (using a 40V FET instead of a 30V FET and some other minor parts changes.) But don't see much demand for an 8S or 12S system right now.

Also, a 12S BEC would be an issue -- high voltage BECs that can handle a significant amount of current are huge. So, I would prefer to do it as an opto system.

So, an opto system, 60V design isn't too difficult. I just need to find time for the design. Got so many other things going on...
