Castle - Make A Special Edition Monster

[lutach]

I think the Europeans tend to over price their products. Might be that the workers over there are getting paid way more then the workers here (Engineers) so they have to price the product to keep them happy. If anyone here knew the total $$$ amount for the components (Not Digi Key, Mouser or Newark's price), you would be surprised at the cost. I don't know how much they pay for the PCBs, but still it would not be $400+. A $300 HV controller would see a lot of buyers not only us car guys, but the boat guys as well. Some of the boat guys prefer heat sink/fan cooling rather then water cooling.

Here is something Castle can do (I've had this in my head for a few years now). Make a "program box" and that would allows us to keep the laptop home, but make it in a way if there's any new updates you can add it to the program box and later to the controllers via a usb or some other connector that wouldn't require the user to remove the connector from the Rx.
