Status: offline 		I imagine you'd have to jump to commercial voltages (think VFDs) which is around 400 volts. The device you want is quite dangerous, both the voltage and EDF itself... I'd be surprised to see a company with the balls to produce that in our sue happy world, plus it's very niche.

You'll probably have to be the basement mad scientist yourself.

Reason? Liability (and technical problems with what you could call "SHV" ESC's)

You do realize that above ~60V DC current can potentially be fatal? That's the rough threshold of the current being able to cross dry skin, and roughly equates to 14s LiPo.

There is no ESC manufacturer that wants to be sued for wrongful death by electrocution.

Status: offline 		So..... Nothing is available over the counter obviously. Lawsuits, death and dismemberment seem to be the buzz words for the subject matter. Mmmmmm.....Bummer. Cleaning out my basement, raising my life insurance policy and putting an ad in the local region for a electronics engineer and aerodynamicist who need extra cash doing side jobs.

Status: offline 		My skin resistance is only 10k ohms dry and 500 ohms wet... Not 500k ohms as the one post suggests. 500k might be lightly brushing a wire, when I measured 10k ohms I was gripping it like I'd work on it.

Just wanted to note - if your skin is wet or sweaty it GREATLY reduces the voltage needed to kill you.

Oh and fuses likely won't help since they are generally multiple amps (if not hundreds for us) and it only takes .1 amp to kill you!
