I actually did it to show that a airplane ESC can be programmed with a car software. It was also to show how efficient a proper HV set up runs. Now I'm waiting for more manufacturers to come out with a HV controller. My plan is to visit Castle Creations and see if Patrick can make my own designs. I'm also still waiting for a guy to make me a heat sink that has the ability to move 2-3 times more heat away from the MOSFETs, so if that works out or gets made, it should make things a bit easier. Some of my ideas have been used already, but the good ones are still in my head.

Whaow, can't wait to get my hands on one of those..

I feel that 14s becomes a little messy, partly due to the limited numbers of 7s packages and chargers available. 12s would be ideal and still keep the current draw low enough to use more simple connectors, thinner cables etc.

BEC availability is a problem by it self, but I consider to get one of the western robotics Hercules BEC's, it is supposed to be good for 14s. Anyone having experience with them?
