I agree 100% that it should protect itself, but they dont. None of them should smoke, but we know thats not the case. Yes coolhand, we know for a fact that was the case...we had laptops monitoring everything on the truck so we had a good feel of what was happening...not just a guess.

The problem is, the sensor doesnt monitor every part in the esc. When they heat up very quickly, the sensor is still reading a normal temp and by that time, smoke is out. If you bring one to thermal temps slowly, its easily going to shut down. As a matter of fact, I smoked two ESC's lately running a dually, one came unplugged from Rx , so I was running one way overgeared motor. Ran for about 2 seconds before smoke cloud. I didnt have time to let off when the power dropped, it happened that quickly....twice. Also did it with an Aveox. So thats 5 times I have personally done it when it should have thermalled but didnt. :028:
