There is no standardized industry method for testing and rating ESC current capabilities. Castle's testing methods tend to result in much lower numbers than our competitors; we feel our numbers better represent the products actual capabilities. But due to the difference in testing and rating methods, our ESCs can look weaker in comparison to our competition.

Using improperly sized components can lead to ESC stress and failure that is not covered by the warranty. Controller temperature must never exceed 100° C (212° F). Exceeding current or temperature ratings may damage components and may shorten the life of the ESC. Always verify system current draw at full throttle. Decrease load to decrease the ESC's operating temperature. Many users have pushed MUCH higher numbers, but Castle makes no guarantees on the long-term reliability of the product or on the warranty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccFinePrint\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe burst rating is for short, momentary periods lasting no more than 2 seconds.
