Wow! That's good over engineering! From what I heard, generally, it's the BEC that prevents a lot of escs from going above a certain voltage the transistor needs to dissipate too much heat from dropping the voltage low enough. So, the higher the voltage, the less power you should draw from the BEC in order to prevent burning up that transistor.

I believe in controllers where there is no BEC, there is slightly more "overhead". However, if I were to blow up a controller due to overvoltage, I wouldn't blame the company at all. Only myself. As a matter of fact, when I did go 8s on my 24.89, I actually took a big gulp and said to myself, if it blows, I learn an expensive lesson - and then I plugged it in and it worked.
