But on an esc with a heat sink, you at least know you can add a fan blowing on the esc if there are heat problems. If its in a closed plastic case, you cant even blow a fan on it to keep it cooler.

I talked to these guys at the iHobby show. They have a cool feature on these ESCs. There is a built in temp monitor like most ESCs, but this one has a led that blinks to tell you how hot the esc is. If its blinking faster its hotter. Now if there wasnt going to be heat issues, why would they bother with that.

Its still a cool feature...

EDIT: another thing I jsut noticed. The specs say its 5s capable, but the highest LVC setting is 12.5V. Why wouldnt they have a 15V cutoff if its 5s capable?
