Hi Bob, without knowing alot about your set-up, I'd say you are right on the edge of over-amping your ESC/motor combination. I've heard the figure of 20% (over and above their posted rating) bantered around that most esc's have supposedly built into them. Does than mean you can go out and safely run/peak your set-up at approx 96 amps+ day after day? I doubt it! I can't speak for nor will I try to speak for any of these manufacturers. The ESC business is a very competitive and the manufacturers are reluctant to discuss much other than their basic ratings. Yes, I do run Castle Esc's and have been happy with the new V2 controllers but I also run Spin Jeti's (77 and 99). I know the consequences of over-amping and try my best to avoid it by the careful selection of motors, Esc's, props and believe it or not, the AUW weight of the planes I build. Keep in mind, everything has it's limitations and these manufacturers know what they are looking at in over-amp situations. After all they built and tested these Esc's. I guess what I'm trying to say is "you can't send a boy out to do a man's job"! Hope this helps, Everette
