You are both right, and both wrong.. lol.

For example, the boys at CC swear the MM will protect itself, and they have tortured them with gearing, etc and it will not just self-destruct.

But we know from experience that a controller can self-destruct before it's self-preservation devices can kick in.

Maybe the MM has superior current/thermal overload protection than other escs... but I have seen a controller shut down like it's designed to do, and then one day it just smokes instead.

There is no absolute one way or the other.
