Castle's and Tekin's are publicly posted in this and another forum. Their rating is more realistic and I like to use it as a max continuous that the ESC will handle. We all know there's no way a ESC so small can provide a full continuous 100A+ load. I mainly use it to determine a safe and reliable full throttle of the line rating. Now, depending on the application, a ESC will push a bit more AMPs, but it'll be for a couple of seconds or less. Example, one of the ESCs I have here is rated for 100A and I've used it in my dragster and saw a burst AMP of 170A+ for less then a second. The same ESC I used in 12th scale racing in a small track and saw an avg. of 15A during a 5 minute heat.
