This can't be right? Right? 177A @ 8S?

Don't forget, those peak numbers are just that; peaks. Normal running will be far lower. A gradual trigger finger will help reduce those currents.

As far as the ET is concerned, it samples every 1/10 sec, so if a burst happens in between samples, you won't catch it, or will catch the rising or falling slope of the spike.

Yeah, I am well aware of that. I've just never seen a burst that high. I do know that the castle guys were talking about having equipment that could catch data at even a finer resolution, and they could see extremely high currents.

This just makes we wonder how sensitive the data capture on the esc is (rather than some artifact.) I really need to get the ET up and running and do some comparisons.

All I do know for sure is that I had a decently tuned LRP .28 in there before, and this setup kicks the hell out of it. My little trist w/ nitro was fun while it lasted, but I can't imagine going back... now what to do w/ the left over fuel....?
