This is BS.

The Quality of the Battery affects how much power the ESC is able to feed the motor. That's all.

The firmware of the ESC knows what to do with voltage drops. That's the job of the LVC function.

I aggree with the NIMH use statement.

Let's say the Lipo packs are only capable of giving up 40 amps Max. Let's say these are Generic and way over rated.

But let's put this and the MMM with a very big motor and gear the setup for 100mph.

A setup like this would overload the amp capability of the batteries.

The ESC would not run the motor the way it should perform because it would be on the lvc all the time.

Heat is a tattle tale sign of what component is being pushed too hard.

The Packs would quickly get hot and probably puff some cells, if not all the cells.

The ESC doesn't care what batteries are used, as long as the voltage is within specs. The ESC is going to deliver whatever amperage is available for it to work with.
