This all sounds reasonable to me especially considering the performance. I have been wanting to do a 5th scale conversion and this is what I will need. I think the 12s version would be more in line with my needs/wants as I want to keep my power in the variables of 3's so my batteries work across my models.

Probably around $275.00 for the 60 FET option in 8S and 12S versions. Around $375.00 for the 120 FET version (40V-8S or 60V-12S.)

8S - 60FET will handle in the 200A range (continuous) and 1000A (surge)
12S - 60FET will handle in the 125A range (continuous) and 500A (surge)

8S - 120FET will handle in the 325A range (continuous) and 2000A (surge)
12S - 120FET will handle in the 200A range (continuous) and 1000A (surge)

Most likely we will release the 12S version first (stock FETs) -- followed by the 8S version.

Sound OK?

I'm first inline for pre orders :tongue:. I would love to test one too :yes:.

Sounds more than O.K. Where can I pre-order 4 of them?

Any plans for a HV CC Bec to go with them?

Damn.. I was looking for an 8s controller, but I really think 2000A surge isn't enough, can you make it bigger? ;)

Joking aside though, what kind of amperage ratings are they? are these your usual massive under ratings? I can't imagine how anyone would pull more than 325A continuous... they'll need some mightily enormous batteries to not only deliver that continuously, but to run for more than a few seconds lol... Maybe in an actual car? Thats and awesome idea. now I want to do a 1:1 conversion lol

Pretty much the same kind of ratings we normally use. The 40V FET I am using for this design has similar resistance (2 milliohm) to the FET we are using on the Monster -- and the 60V FET is a 6 milliohm FET (about triple the 40V FET.)

The surge rating is the .6 second rating (mostly for startup.)

Exactly. Europe will be playing catch up when those bad boys come out :party::party::party::party::party::party:.

Playing catch up? They won't be able to catch up. Castle already pushed Quark out of the market. The SSB never even made it to the states. Unfortunately that means that Castle only has competition from hobbywing importers and novak right now, but that doesn't mean they are gonna be slacking.

I am patiently awaiting something with a sensor still, I friggin hate brushed motors but crawlers pretty much need them for a good speed range right now.

dunno how old this is, but THATS CRAZY!

i assume this is something what you mentioned above... 22500W 30HP, working on a motor... thats one friggin HUGE motor. nice :party:

I'll take 2 for the pre-order. High Voltage rules the roost.
