MMM: No brushed motor limit?

[Pdelcast]

In brushed mode about 100A for forward/reverse (and that's a REAL 100A continuous, not a BS 20 millisecond rating like "Brand N" would give you.) The limitation is really from the 10ga wire -- 100A is about the limit for a single 10ga.

A good quality brushed motor will melt at about 40A continuous, and will really only handle about 25A or so on a continuous basis... so you should be OK with up to 3 540 size motors in parallel.

In high power mode, you should be able to run a little over 200A continuous (remember - - Amps doesn't scale linearly because of the I^2 losses...)

I just re-read this section and wonder if the letter "N" was just a coincidence, or is it referring to a certain competitor whose name begins with "N"?

I don't think there is a company named Novak. Wait, lemme check... there is!

If 100 amps is the limit for a single 10Ga. Wire, What does this say about the 100 amp + continous ratings of other brand ESC's that are fed with 12Ga. Wire?
