Here's a .pdf I found on another forum. Looks like the Ballistic 8 will be 4-pole and sensored. They are coming out with 2 sizes, 8 and 8L, which I assume pretty much correspond to buggy and truggy judging by the dimensions listed. The release also mentions a Kinetic 4S ESC, which IMO is a bit of a disappointment that they aren't going for 6S max.
