HobbyWing EZRun 80A Review

[jsr]

I have no test data, but transients are for a short period and don't carry that much energy. That's why surge/transient ratings are always considerably higher. The 80A EZRun is rated for 270A surges, which sounds well guardbanded for your 81A surge setup. Continuous currents shouldn't be that high and thus not stress the ESC much.

BTW, how you do guys monitor the current consumption in your setups?
Do you have a datalogger that monitor voltage and/or current with time?

I am using a watts up meter.

You could use something like the Eagletree E-Logger:

Only problem with this is its maximum 10sample/second rate, which means that the peaks it records will still be averages over a 100ms period.
