I'll be sure to make a thread once I finish the project which will include build pics, write up, and hopefully a vid :)

I've got pretty big plans for this thing.

The ESC I will be using is the Castle Creations Phoenix HV85. Its rated 85 amps continuous (which is plenty for my application), is capable of 12S Lipo (!), and has tons of awesome programmability like hard or soft cutoff, adjustable overcurrent protection, motor timing, or throttle type (and a few more). It looks pretty awesome. Bad part is no brakes (since its an air controller) but I'm using the disc brakes anyway, so its no biggie. Plus, for just 180 bucks, I haven't found any 12S capable controller with comparable or better current ratings. In fact, I haven't really found any other 12S controllers for under 300 bucks (besides the other Phoenix HV contollers like the HV45 and HV110).

Bad news is that I have to wait until at least May or so to start the project.
