Jerry - They have said here that they used basic FET current multipliers to come up with their current ratings and they are dropping them in favor of their preferred method motor wind limit and number of cells...

Castle don't quote current ratings now and prefer to also design controllers for specific uses - The "masses" don't have eagletrees and just want to know a setup that works.

An objective set of standards for Lipo and ESC testing would be ideal but until that happens i see this as a step forward that NOVAK is deleting the artificial high ratings.

Expecting all mfgs to adopt esc current rating standards would probably be expecting too much... Maybe where speed control current ratings are concerned there is no "truth", only "it depends".

We will continue to rate our controllers by the motor wind limit and number of cells; anything exceeding that range could damage the electronics.
