The Activ8 is sensored-only; I'll see if we can clarify the copy a bit. Our Ballistic 8 motor can be operated with sensor-less controllers---we have considered a SL-only version of the motor.

As for additional lipo, yes it can--it does have the headroom. But, for now, we are just spec-ing it for 2S to 4S. Bob has run certain motor configurations with additional cells and it works fine---but, we don't want all the warranty liability....

We will be doing an exploded view of the Activ8; we designed a cushioning internal silicon insert that surrounds the boards on all sides featuring a ledge around the tub bottom that the PCB rests on. There is another silicon piece---these are in addition to our existing seal---so this controller is the most sealed and watertight esc we have made.
