It just makes me nervouse to pull currents consistently that much higher than the rating. I was looking for a "solid" 100-120A continuous rating with higher bursts. The Jive 80A might be a better choice, if nothing but peace of mind. And since I'm not using electrical brakes, the proportional brake issue is not important.

What I'm looking for is an ESC with the following features (not necessarily in order of importance):

- 100-120A rating.
- 50v+ rating. I want to run about 15-20% under the max rating for reliability.
- Decent level of programmability.
- NO COGGING! Never had a setup that did, and don't want one now.
- Adequate heatsinking. I'm don't like temps above 130-140*F.
- Fast/easy domestic support/warranty service.
- No special signal translation devices needed (pistix)
- Adjustable LVC (can set the v/cell value). I like a 3.1v-3.2v/cell cutoff.
- Priced at $300-$400.
- High quality. I don't trust those ~$100 100A HV ESCs. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
