Hardcase batteries FTW.
I wish they were but it can be really difficult for Castle to explain why there boards are identical to other esc’s with the exception of the firmware/software that drives them.
Just because Castle drops a premade board from China inside of a plastic case, they may say that it was made in the USA but it was only assembled.. meaning wires soldered on, IC’s flashed with firmware. The mosfets and voltage rectifiers are soldered on by a very complex robot due to the nature of their small size that Castle would not be able to financially keep up with as they would need several to support the device they so call manufacture. I was keeping up on a couple of threads about this.
