Sikeston34M,
You are correct about punch control. Its only at startup that we have the huge inrush currents. My setup is 35 continuous and 78 peak. I think Brushlessboy is trying to eliminate the startup peaks to save his batteries. If he is talking about continuous currents and limiting those then thats something else and I missed the point.

Thats a good point Linc about the heat, which is why I was thinking about a transformer setup before you hit the esc before this idea. But running the motor at 6S has its advantages too of less heat etc etc. Never played with throttle EPA but ya I would be worried about the heat issue too. Some guy did that on the traxxas forums with 6S and 7xl and smoked an MMM (not BEC issue).

Good point too Sikeston34m, I'm not sure how many people are going to be running at WOT all the time or if you even can.
