No, but I have ordered the Afro version of it, waiting on the slow boat for delivery :)

This thing? http://www.team-blacksheep.com/tbs-powercube-manual.pdf

Cool looking whatever it is. :) Looks like a Borg implant.

4 20A ESCs on a single 43x43 board? Interesting.

Consider that this is effectively an 80A ESC.

Might want to bench test that to make sure it can handle the load properly. May need to put a real heat sink on there.

80A is beyond way beyond what those 2mm source bullets can handle. Beyond rating on XT60 too. Have to go to a 4-5mm bullet to be safe on the source power side. Wire gauge is probably undersized too on the source feed.

Cube is an interesting concept. Seems a bit better electrically speaking, though it too seems to have under rated input power connector and wires, especially given the higher current handling specs of the whole thing. Heat dissipation is going to be a problem for the inner ESC boards I would think.

Both are interesting! I await reviews! :)

I'd like to try the Blacksheep Cube... Seem to make the build tons easier! Being they are in the open with airflow.. No shrink.. Should cool well. Tempted!
