Tyler,

The "burst" rating means just that, a short moment running over the rating. They are not clear ont he website or literature what time that represents, but the 12C rating is for 60 seconds... so the 16C is probably for just a few seconds at most. Also, you have a Jeti 8 amp ESC... even at 12C it's pulling over the Jeti's rating (9 amp load on a 8 amp ESC)...

The fact that you have not complained about motor shut-downs (internal safety shutoff) probably tells us that you have been staying below the 12C rating most of the time. We both ran this same setup with the TP1320's on the Hellraisers, and they definitly were overloading the ESC considerably. I think we have just been lucky, or the Jeti is just a good quality robust ESC that can take overloads well.

The other possibility is that we are not extending the endpoints of the throttle channel, and maybe we have never been running full throttle. I saw somewhere where a guy adjusted the upper endpoint on his Throttle Channel and got more power WOT. I thought the Jeti automatically adjusted for full range, but I really don't know for sure. We'll get one of those Watt Meters and check this out for sure soon. Maybe there is more power to tap, and we didn't know it?

Maybe Matt can address this question too...
