General ESC Theory Discussion

[Serum]

what exactly IS the problem? is it the internal resistance of the batteries that gets worse on a high load?

An inductor would be adding too much resistance.

What is the exact problem? if lipo's are not up the task, perhaps the voltage ripple kills the esc; in that case it might be an idea of adding these diodes that short above a certain voltage. put these between the 3 motorwires and it would prevent an overvoltage to occur.

Is it Zener Diodes you are thinking of Serum?

About the inductor, it's kinda hard to say what that would do on an ESC; but wouldn't a large cap bank like the one I have make more sense? Looking at my eagletree results from last year when I have my monster quark running, and comparing that to the replacement quark, I have discovered that the voltage drop at a given current level is definitely less. This could possibly be an error in the eagletree, but I don't really know. Just my two cents.
