We tested to 130A continuous and could not shut down the unit due to thermal or failure. That would dump your 5000mah battery in less than 3 min. It has shown to be pretty burley and even impressed us. Time will tell, but I think a lot of people are going to be smiling like we are. The Dual Mode drive is sweet and consistent.
Thanks for that info. I am not trying to be hard on you it's just a lot of manufacturers have left the RC community jaded with bogus, inflated, and/or untested claims. This has been running rampant in the lipo world as well.

I have nothing against tekin, and am happy to see more products coming to market. I just want to know "why" I should buy the controller.

I am a shopper, and like to here "what it has" etcetera before deciding. I never want to heat why the competition is bad, but really what you have to offer. I can comparison shop myself based on good information given.
