I don't mean to offend that guy in the vids too much but IMO he is a bit of a meat head. What he was doing with his E-Baja was pretty stupid and would be in almost any other car. Constant jabs of full throttle on high traction surfaces is going to send the amp draw through the roof and build heat very quickly. Also spinning the wheels at full throttle on dirt and then crossing over to the bitumen is just insane. In a heavy car like that with no slipper clutch again current spikes would be huge. That ESC was working overtime.

I hate people that drive electric RC's like that. They treat the throttle like an ON/OFF switch with nothing in between. Stupid IMO. While you can get away with doing some of that in a smaller scale I doubt any ESC would last long in a large scale car with that kind of treatment.

At least he has fitted a slipper clutch now so that might help but that guy really needs to change his driving style. Jabbing the full throttle like that constantly he is going to go through ESC's fast.
