Quark fried, blown capacitor...

That is the only factor though (besides thermal issues but we know about them already). That said..... if you've ever driven a truck with the HvMaxx, you learn to do without fancy programming options such as torque control, soft start, drag brake, adjustable brakes etc. With the HvMaxx you get:

Foward- brake- reverse
Forward - brake
Forward - brake - 25% reverse = I use this setting to avoid going backwards at full throttle.

Thats it, really. The esc itself may adjust timing at mid-throttle, but as far as brakes and throttle curve go.... thats what your fingers are for! It might be worth looking into if you can live with a 'basic' truck esc- think HvMaxx with better spec & more cells & sensorless motors..... but it might go up in smoke on you without warning, unlike the Hv....
