          What makes an esc lv or hv? The amount of lipo it will handle?

          My point was if its not marked HV than is it considered high voltage?

            That is all it is...that one says 4-12S so that makes it a HV. Amp is the same at 200.

            I think it is jus the fact that most are 2-6S and a few 8S (himodel)

              so you buy stuff by how it is marked rather than reading the specs? Yes HV = high voltage LV = low voltage. always read the specs, if they dont list the specs dont buy!

                Why are you so condensending in your answers?........my observation of an esc that is not marked Hv. That IS hv. Is warranted. Being the first one I have ever seen

                  So run it on 10 and 12S and don't call it HV...

                  Castles are 12S max and they call them HV. Where is theh difference? It is only volts and amps you are talking here. No magic no extra HV secret part...it is the way they are designed.

                              Several seller I see have them in stock. I did see Hobby City was alrady out of stock but maybe timing was an issue.

                                I'm amazed that they kept the price the same as there was about a 10% wholesale price increase!

                                Mine should be here in a few days.
