An idea for a new MMM or MM feature for Castle -

Since the controllers are software based I was wondering how difficult it would be to add a max voltage out feature to the motor.
Idea: Lets say you have only 6S battery config but you only need 14.8V because 22.2V out. It would be nice to program the controller with a max voltage out setting to run the motor within spec. Or maybe a percentage of battery output feature that would limit the voltage of the battery to the motor.
This would allow someone to buy a single set of 3S batteries and then be able to use them in any application. Originally I thought about a transformer between the battery and the esc to get this done, but I have researched and for these currents it seems that it would be too bulky to want to fit in an RC truck.
Ayone have any thoughts. It seems that this would be a very easy software change for the controller. It would also help with the new E-Revo as you could buy a set of 3S batts and when someone is driving it that doesnt know, it would be toned down.
It would be similar to Traxxas's 50% reduction feature they have on their ESC, but much more advanced.
