Great review. Given what my mtroniks truck Esc did I didnt think 80A was enough to push around an MT. The part that irks me though is my 7xl 38mph emaxx setup only pulls around 35A at WOT which could be considered continuous. The peaks are 78A. So why wouldnt an 80A continuous rated speed controller work that has peaks of 270A?

To me It seems like all this stuff is not rated correctly. You have to buy Escs that are overrated. You have to buy batteries that are overrated. If you do the math on my setup a 10C 4000mah battery with 10C continuous and 20C burst would work just fine, but you would puff a battery rated that small in an MT.

Now I just measure or estimate the peaks and I buy equipment where my peak is its continuous rating and that seems to work. But I really shouldnt have to do that.
