Stackers worked out very well, they are in production. I expect to have double ESCs ready in about two weeks. We have purchased a Reflow oven and hot air soldering station to help construct them faster and more consistent.

Those stacked ones look awesome... What are we looking at for a price for them?

Haven't settled price yet, I have to do a first run to see how much labor it involves. The reflow oven will really speed it up. The additional wire, conformal coating, and labor of assembly will make it more than just two bare units.

But ballpark, im guessing $150 for a dual ESC unit without plugs.

They will be offered in one fully wired and water resistant package. We are bouncing between 16g and 13g wire on the battery side terminals. The 13g offers half the voltage drop with just a few grams of extra weight, so it is my preference.
Will you sell a conection kit for those who have already 2 mini Br ?

Yes, use a better/ larger battery or increase your battery side wire size. Or reduce/ remove the cutoff voltage. The mini is allowing for higher performance, your battery side is the choke point.

I turned off my LVC on now mine works flawlessly.

I just use my timer on my radio to keep track of run times. Usually two 7 min comp practice scenarios with no worries.

What battery would you recommend for a Bully MOA?

600mah 35c is a good size to start. If that is what you have and they are new (and known to be a stout brand), try increasing the negative battery wire to 14g or 13g between your plug and ESC.

ESC has the cutoff voltage.

I'm using max amps 430mAh 100c, and still have the issue using 16ga wires, I'll try reducing the cut off voltage or turning it off and see if that works.
