An idea for a new MMM or MM feature for Castle

[MetalMan]

What you guys are looking for is current limiting, otherwise known as torque control. We've been asking CC for this for a while, but no luck as of yet.

Limiting the voltage isn't a good idea - ESCs are most efficient at full throttle (voltage).

When the esc is not operating a full throttle the fets are still switching, and that produces the heat. I guess the thermal design of the MMM with the temp controled fan may be able to cope with this... Not sure if it is a good idea as it will most likely wear the fets out faster...

Oh yeah, doesn't adjusting the throttle epa do what your asking. Set the esc up with the epa at 100% and then just dial it back to 66% or whatever. Still going that have the heat issue...

I know with my E Revo/Medusa setup, the majority of the time is spent well below full throttle.

On 6S, full throttle means "out of control" alot of times. Well, maybe from a 30mph punch.
