The Hercules was designed and produced by a buddy of mine. He was my heli trainer actually. We worked together on a few things. I test and help with a few of their products. Jimmy likes to blow stuff up. He ragged me hard for having a castle bec in my buggy. He was telling me how easy it was to make them fail, but I only run a 94359 and it has been good.

The Hercules is a killer bec http://www.western-robotics.com/RCproducts.html
I was going to do all the soldering for them at one point (anything that doesn't go in the oven). I still remember when we started selling bec's and failsafes and the boards were hand cut and drilled LOL. man it's come a long way since then. He has about the same setup in his 2 car garage as does castle in their shop pics they showed a while back..... and he does stuff for Honda, Toyota and Sherline mills as well now.... all this from a guy that used to program robotics stuff and I talked him into making rc gear because he's a bloody genius
