I have absolutely no desire to make a vehicle for me to ride on, but 5 or 6s 10,000 would be a good reason to put two packs on something. I have given plenty of controllers "the business" and thermaled them, when the battery and motor were fine. My MGM can take it with no problem, where the Monster overheats. If Castle were to make a 275+ continuous controller thats more affordable, everyone who has had to drop a couple of teeth to make their setup happy, will thank them.

If you're thermalling an MMM, you're doing something seriously wrong. I don't think there's a single other person on this board who's actually managed to thermal one yet; current-wise, they can handle *plenty* enough. And even if it could handle yet higher currents, this wouldn't have any effect on its ability to withstand high ripple voltages. It's an independent issue.
Besides...a true 275A controller like you're talking about would be simply too big to be practical in 1/8th scale. And if you used such a controller in larger models, the current throughput of the whole system due to the 6S limitation would render the whole system insanely inefficient and unreliable.
