I actually meant the Victor SP. It's about the same width, so it should fit in with some clearance for most people's mounting configurations, provided you didn't rely on the length too much. I'm not sure why one would want this though, but if I were to guess, they're just trying to establish a standard for motor controller sizes.

Did anyone in the beta get offered to test these? If so, could you try some tests to figure out the general quality of the new motor controllers?

We haven't seen any for Beta Testing.
Beta Testing this year has been on the software rewrites and updates.
