So, Castle creations still wont sell me a 200amp SHV, even when I offered a kilo-buck apiece.
So, I'm currently negotiating with this company called Danlions. They are a China place that makes RC gear.
Here is there website:

They make a 200amp HV ESC that is a serious unit. 8 big caps, 4 big 10awg wires for power in, and 6 big 10awg wires for power out. It looks like they just stacked a pair of there 100amp HV ESC on top of each other and maybe do a master/slave setup to control them. I actually have no idea though, I've never held one or taken one apart.
Anyways, they say that the caps are the only thing limiting them to 45v, and that the rest of the device is 60v capable. Easy enough to swap caps on something. Perticularly when we normally are upgrading the caps on the castle units anyway.
I'm trying to swing a deal with them, but they want to sell them in a minimum lot of 10. It looks like something around $250 per unit, but we aren't solid on anything yet, and I'm hassleing them to sell me a sample for a reasonable price.
I really have no idea how much interest there would be from you guys. I know it's a far cry from the 90v of the castle SHV200, but it's not vapor-ware, and it's 1/3-1/4th the price.
Here is a page that shows the 100amp and 200amp ESC line I'm talking about:

If I were to front the cash to buy 10 of them and ship them over here, would anyone be interested in buying some of the extra 6 units that I wont be needing?
Also, they make a battery that they claim is pretty badass. But they want a minimum purchase of 50packs... Again, I would be willing to front the cash if there was enough interest in them. I'm still working on getting pricing from them, but if the spec sheet is remotely accurate, these are pretty hot batteries.
Here is the spec sheet:

I personally have loads of good LiPo all ready, and I'm mainly interested in the 200amp HV controllers. Is anybody else interested in making a group buy work?
