Thanks guys.

Well, the problem is that all of my setups are custom fitted for the components I choose. So, I can't simply pop an ESC out and put another back in unless it's the same exact ESC (or very close to it). However, I've been contemplating re-doing my Hyper8. There should be enough room on there where the Quark 125B and wire box are located. And, the motor is a 1512/d2 geared 46/15, so it's a pretty "hot" setup and should stress the ESC fairly well. I plan to run it with the fan first, and then without and see what the differences are temp-wise. I don't have an EagleTree, but I can make a pretty good approximation of current flow by calculating runtime and burst current based on that average current.

BTW: The EZRun80 is supposed to be used with BL motors 8T and higher. I don't know how they can say that because for a kiven kv, the turn count changes with number of poles. And even then, I could put a 20T motor in there, but gear so high that it blows. I think they should have left that out TBH.
