There are asian companies selling ESCs in the air market that have selling prices BELOW my BOM costs... Think about that... Their selling price is lower than my material costs ALONE.
It isn't a business you want to get into unless you are doing it simply because you love the hobby. You won't get rich doing this.

I've been running brushless for more than a few years now. I have run Shultze, Mtronics, MGM, Quark and some others. It wasn't long ago that we had to modify the ESC's just to make them work properly. Now it is nothing but Castle Creations in everything I own (no mods necessary). Your customer support is top notch too. I have 10 Castle ESC's and counting. We really appreciate your love, keep up the good work!!!
Next, I need a platform that can handle some all out serious speed and a place to run it.
