A good quality brushed motor will melt at about 40A continuous, and will really only handle about 25A or so on a continuous basis... so you should be OK with up to 3 540 size motors in parallel.

In high power mode, you should be able to run a little over 200A continuous (remember - - Amps doesn't scale linearly because of the I^2 losses...)

If 100 amps is the limit for a single 10Ga. Wire, What does this say about the 100 amp + continous ratings of other brand ESC's that are fed with 12Ga. Wire?
