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
