Do the other people at that forum know he's full of BS? It would suck if people go out and buy lipos capable of 200A just on his word... unless of course he's the one selling them!

I can understand lesser lipos, having higher resistance, allow higher ripple currents to get to the BEC. But, that just means the lipos were poorly chosen for the application to begin with even if the BEC survives. But to say your lipos need to be capable of whatever the ESC is capable of in a blanket statement is just plain ridiculous. Of course, it won't hurt to do that, but it's just not needed in all but the most severe setups. And since the MMM can really handle bursts well over 200A, does that mean the batteries do too? Without reading mr RURC's posts, it sounds like he knows just enough to sound knowledgable and is convincing others as well. Sounds like Mr Patrick should go over there and set this guy straight...

Again, just give us an Opto MMM and be done with the whole BEC thing.
