Just to squash any rumors....there is going to be a decent price gap between the two options assuming that the TQ300 does indeed come to market in the future.
Stock system TQ250 with 1.5 and aux charger is right around the 190A mark.....This can easily run on Robs production 4.5kw controller with a reasonable amount of reliability. As soon as you push up above the 6-7kw mark you are asking ALOT and there has to be safety margins to make sure the device lasts longer than a couple months before it burns out.
The TQ300 also demands alot more of the batteries...people who one day purchase this system will have to understand that it cant do the standard 1.5minutes before you are out of juice.

Thanks for all the extra info Fenton. I know you've been hard at work testing (torture isn't it?
). The above + the 6-12 mo timeline goes a long way to setting my mind at ease. I'll start a spring/summer 2015 fund just in case. I'm in with Phantom for the long haul.
