As for the actual mechanics of the world going around it must have something to do with the the intial big bang exposion imparting momentum to all of the particles in the universe. At that point the started to collect due to the unexpainable force of gravity (it is very weak compared to the other forces but has the greatest "reach"). At that point the larger collections of matter started to interact with each other and the various planets developed orbits due to the gavitational forces counteracting the momentum of the planets. These orbits gradually altered as the planets swept up most of the debris in space and enlarged at the same time. So the actual rotation of the earth about its axis is most likely a closely balanced deal based on the size of the sun and the interaction of neighboring planets. So should anything change we may have issues. Get rid of Jupiter or saturn and I would no doubt that we may get sucked closer to the sun, and then everything dies. So no blowing up any planets, no matter how pissed they make you.

I can also imaging the moon affects the rotation of the earth, as it does cause the tides due to its gavitational effects on the earth. And all that water moving around will be altering the rotation of the earth somehow.

I have seen some presentations done on all the things that are in place which allow the earth to sustain life, it's pretty crazy. Even the other galaxies around us affect this.

Yes, that is the air version, and it is shipping now.

For the love of god, put cooling plates on the Phoenix ICE and ICE HV series and SELL IT! I don't understand what the holdup is, can't be too tough to make it a marine ESC. There are people running regular ICE ESCs in boats (some without any cooling at all, just the heatsinks in a sealed up hull). PLEASE give us the Hydra ICE!

Hmm, funny, we just approved the cooling extrusion on Thursday for the Hydra ICE. Coming real soon. Probably less than four weeks away.

Yeah, pretty much everything we have made in the last eight months or so has been a V4. The V5 is shipping now. The only real differences is some very minor changes in V4, and V5 has a better switching BEC (more amperage.)

So, nothing really to get excited about. Just some minor tweaks.

VERY good to hear! Are they going to be regular cooling plates or some kind of water block like you find in a water cooled computer? As long as you can keep the resistace low enough the water block would offer superior cooling capacity. At any rate, I've got 3 boats right now...and only 1 good ESC

We took the heat sink fins off the cooling extrusion, and replaced them with channels for cooling tubes. The cooling extrusion bonds to the bus bars and the FET packages -- it is very effective at cooling the circuit board.

Sounds good! Any pics? I will be looking forward to these ESCs, got a big summer of boating ahead!

I'm out of the office until Tuesday -- I'll try to remember to post up some pics when I get back.

does anyone know when mmp's will be ready to ship to suppliers? its all i need to finish my hyper 10sc

Why not order from Mike (rc-monster.com) and you will most definitely get it faster and probably much cheaper than the lhs. This is Mike's site after all paid for with his hard earned money so my first suggestion is always to support him.

I'm waiting for him to get these back in stock!

Well, back in February Patrick said this:

So, what happened? Is the Hydra Ice still on the way?

Yes, it's still coming -- as is the Mamba versions of the ICE controller. Right now they are a low priority in production 'cause we can't keep on the mainline stuff. Sorry, I'll try to keep everyone up to date.
