Patrick, that sounds like a great idea to me. It'd certainly help sift out the all the lower-quality packs out there too, as active performance-limiting would make it all the more obvious if a pack is struggling...as well as obviously preventing ripple deaths.

Perhaps it could be included as a check box in Castle Link? Allow people to turn off "Dynamic Power Limiting" (or whatever you'd call it) if they really want, but add a disclaimer that warns the user of possible damage to the ESC or battery if they're using cheap packs (and that Castle strongly recommend that the feature stays enabled)?

Maybe you could also add an LED flash code that warns the user if their packs are struggling too much while the feature's turned on? That way, it'd take the guess-work out of whether performance is being limited or not.
