Just wondering if we had a controller how many people would actually be ready for a controller today.

Thanks for the feedback fellas!

I think just "Nuts" would be appropriate for such insanity. I knew there had to be people out there running some of these setups already. I've seen videos of a 10s setup with a Neu 2225, and all I can say is...wow. I didn't think you could move 20 pounds around like that, but it was doing it and then some. It's good to see there are setups out there you could take you for a spin around the block.

Now that's a video I'd like to see! And I can't comment on something I know nothing about. Sometimes it's better to not know and plausible deniability can be a powerful ally. I doubt you'll see too much hardware from us, but sometimes you never know.

I would. Have a Baja 5t running a NEU2230 using my custom motor mount. It has been run at 8s and 10s already. I have several gear ratios that I can use. Would be a case of me wiring in the speedo and charging up some batteries.

Make me the 3rd person. I have three 1/5 scale cars that I would use.

#1- 1/5 electric on-road- I would just drop in your ESC.

#2- Custom made 1/5 scale Rally- I would need to buy a motor.

#3- MCD 1/5 Dessert Truck- I would need to buy a motor and machine a mount.

Have 4 sets of 4S Thunderpower batts.

Have UBECs that can handle up to 24 cells.

Thomas, when these become available in a hydra version as well, you can consider a bunch sold! PLENTY of 10s-12s power boats built.

No baja, not cool enough for that, but I do have a very large and heavy Savage XL already w/ a 1521 on 8S. Been using an HV MGM for a while, but want to see how the CC esc stacks up.

Come on now...
