I called it thermaling because (according to Novak tech, the flashing led indicated thermaling) yet the esc was cool. My understanding is that the motor it's self is sensored for thermal readings and the system will shut down if the motor it's self is too hot, as well as when the esc is too hot. That could be incorrect info. but that's what I was told, so I just assumed the motor thermaled.
