I posted this over there, but it adds to this conversation just as well.

Something else I dont get while reading the Mamba Monster page at the CC site.

How can they rate this for 18 cel NiMH or 6 cell lipo? I dont know of any NiMH cell that can deliver bursts over 125A and maitain 75A continuous.

Here are the specs copied and pasted from the CC site.

Retail Price: Mamba Monster ESC: $199.00

Cells: 18 NiCad/NiMH 6s LiPo
Continuous: More than you can handle!
Resistance: 0.0003 ohms per phase
Brake: Proportional with adjustable curve
Reversible: Yes - with lockout
Low Voltage Cutoff: Programmable
Size: ESC: 2.2" x 1.9" x 1.4"

Weight w/wires: ESC: TBD
Connector Type: 6.5mm bullet

If it was the batteries killing these things they certainly couldnt rate it for NiMH and NiCD cells then. There is no way they can hold the voltage of even crappy lipos.
