Having seen your conversion, I wouldn't have bothered changing it either, it's very similar to the 9E anyway.

Still, 48 FETs in such a tiny beast is still insane, the thing amazes me.
Castle are actually releasing a Mamba Max Pro. Rated for 6S (I think, or maybe 4S, not too sure), 100A continuous (a real figure, not the inflated ones that LRP/Nosram etc use), sensored, and in a case the size of a normal 1/10 ESC.

Tekin and Castle appear to have the 1/8 market nailed between them. None of the other stuff comes close.

I'd like to see it. Looking forward to it!
