Well, I always thought it was If I Recall Correctly, but same difference lol.

As for the ESC, the Plane controllers have a very low surge/spike rating. They can handle decent continuous counts, but they can't handle much more than that. That is also why they can't have brakes. Brakes cause the voltage to spike and that is what usually blows stuff (not the high voltage itself).

So, this is why car ESC's are so robust compared to boat and plane controllers - they must be able to hold up under braking.

I'm sure Castle will warranty it.
