Castle HV Hydra, but where is the car version!!!!

[Dagger Thrasher]

It basically boils down to what people are going to buy. 95% of brushless MT users are never going to use over 6S LiPo! Heck, most people can't afford to go over 6S as it gets very expensive. Castle aren't going to develop an ESC that they're going to lose money on, and I think Joe was perfectly right in what he said. To even release a car version of the Hydra HV is going to be very expensive (time to reprogram, packaging, and hardware alterations that need to be made etc). Like Johnrobholmes said, the market just isn't there. For most users, 6S LiPo setups offer excellent performance and efficiency...and the MMM looks to be a stonking controller. If the market arises, then I'm sure they'll build an MMM HV...but it isn't there. It makes perfect sense...and at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Castle stopped visiting and posting on this forum.
All they've gotten lately is complaint after complaint. Though they deserve some of it for the MMM wait, they're now getting flak for not building a HV car controller right away? Come on. The MMM should be an awesome controller for a great price which will probably handle 7S easily anyway, so let's be grateful.


Sorry for the rant, I've had a bit of a bad day...but that's just my 2 pence.
