They were Schottky diodes iirc for clamping I thought, but IDK for sure. Still have my Mtronics around actually.

Edit: sry for the simulaneous posting

So basically that would prevent all the current and/or voltage from rushing back to the battery per say?

seems like it. But the ESC functions without them, correct?

Yeah, they basically shunt any voltage in excess to their rating to ground, thereby clamping the voltage to a more manageable level. Protects the FETs and caps from overvoltage, not to mention the batteries. That is IF they are that kind of diode. Like I said before, they could also be intended to function as the "body diode" found in FETs (but basically do the same kind of thing).

Very nice discussion guys! Some of you are definently more in the know about circuitry design then I ever was, hence why I had to drop out of electronics design in college, my brain hurted

Nah, we had that at Montana State - comparatively we were the redneck school - U of M is the tree hugger community.

I'm bumping this because SOME PEOPLE STILL insist on stating that higher pinions = safer ESC's, even with 6S.

Tell them to get a data logger to get a basica idea of how many AMPs various gear ratio will pull. I've done my homework and I have a solid set up.

Or, let them continue down their own path and figure it out the hard way. Maybe after the 12654615th time their ESC thermals (or worse) they'll understand.
