OK, I know I'm going to get hammered for this but what about a current limiter feature?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know all about the torque control feature. I also know that lots of people have reported various problems with it including some high motor temps and poor startup when trying to use the torque control feature.

I also know that there are other ESCs on the market that have a current limiter feature (and have for a long time) with none of these startup issues. Nor do you have to tell the ESC what the KV of the motor is (via a motor test) in order to use the current limiter feature.

Is this possible with the current ESC hardware? I wonder because I asked one ESC company why the current limiter in one of their ESCs is not in all the ESCs and was told that it takes up additional space inside the case.
