Well it's better than the Novak ESCs that say they can handle 540 Amps per phase - which like PDC said - is just BS.

I ran a Novak setup in a 1/10 on-road electric for a while and it would suck down a TrackPower 2S 4900 gold bar lipo pack in 5 minutes (~12C avg) and I would generally get at least one thermal along the way even with the fan on it.

I have only been able to thermal a MM (not even a MMM) one time when I had a temporary setup in a 1/8 buggy with a Hacker 8L (~3000 kv) on 4S. It was just too small a motor for the application.

I actually think it's a shame that Caste and pdc are put in this predicament, ya know.... They have a choice of putting an over rating on there product to be able to mass market it, put a real world rating on it and risk joining the ranks of MGM and others in a niche market with lower sales, or just saying beat the cr@p out of it and will fix it if you break it.
