I will try it again on Monday with 4S lipos and I'll get to 3S as well. Castle controllers do have an upper hand on service as Castle is US based. The Scorpion does have the wireless programming which is much better then taking your laptop to the field. I changed the pinion for a larger one to push the controller to it's limits, but the Mega is not taking that too well. I will switch to one of my Aveox 1412/1.5Y and later go with my Kontronik FUN600-17 to keep everything in the 1700 or so Kv range. You can use the ACn22/30/1, but gear it properly so the motor won't overheat. The controller starts my Mega with no issues at all and if you grab a hand full of throttle it will give you a hand full of power with no start up issues. The controller is not out yet as Scorpion will use a different (Better) PCB and a larger heat sink with a thermal activated fan. After I added the bigger heat sink and fan to the controller, I can definitely say it's solid. The switching BEC is working great and that is good as I can use my Rx pack to power the fan.
