If they made the controller 12S from the get go, people could still use it with 6S and later they would just buy a motor with the right Kv and go with a higher voltage.

True, however, to keep the $300 price point as the 200A 6s ESC, CC would probably have to make it a 100A 12s ESC. Even then it might be hard to do depending on component and other costs.

But then they wouldnt sell you another controller.

Components are not that expensive. I know, I sell electronic components. A controller might cost $50 (Guessing, but it might be less), but the price of a product have to pay for the people working with them and overhead. Look at this controllers: http://www.himodel.com/electric/HiMo...200A-OPTO.html (200A up to 7S lipos) and this one http://lightflightrc.com/HTML/products/SP_100A_ESC.htm (100A up to 7S and only $39.95). They are not fancy controllers, but they might use the same amount of components. I have mentioned a 1/8 scale truggy and buggy chassis I have designed and I have sent the drawings to Mike. I will only use 10S to 12S lipos with them.

I would gladly take a CC 100A 12S controller any day of the week.
I use the HV110 and the only thing missing is motor brakes.
