I'm not going to market them because the H-bridge design was open source if 
it hasn't the intension to use commercially.
But, If Joe Sommer from Anvilus Machine Works give me the permission to 
copy/reuse the code of the micro controller then I want to build this ESC 
for some enthusiast around here for a little more then my expense.
Then It's more  the intension to help then to be commercial. :D
