I think yours is setup same as Kaz..? With the buggy tires and the high FDR and higher KV motor/rpm, I think the 100A ESC would handle fine...
I bought the 28025 temporary for my 1/5th scale race a few months ago, but it didn't work.. it was pretty much a waste of money since that's the only ESC that would've been able to handle the 2280-5 on 6S 10000 mAh, 5th scale.., and it still doesn't work, I'm sure Mike would help me out.. Just waiting for a reply.. I'm in the same boat as you, I really don't want to send it out, unless I'm 200% sure that there is nothing else that could be done for it to work.... because my Hydra 240 on 6S couldn't handle that motor either, but that's because it needed water cooling and the motor RPM was 1480KV...
The Hydra was 75+ Deg. C, the Lipos were about 50 Deg. C 6S2P 10000 mAh, and the motor was about 40 Deg. C. and all 6 10 AWG wires were warm...

thanks for the input. i think i will be able to run a test today. so is yours actually geared higher than mine? i guess you could gear a lot higher with such a low kv motor and so much power. i am really hoping it works as planned. i really dont want to have go back to the drawing board.
sorry about your mgm. luckily for me i was just over looking things but it sounds like you know what you are doing and chances are the mgm needs to be replaced. idk, i know some guys swear by them. i have never owned one but have looked at getting one several times.
