Default RE: ESC temp. range

Thats interesting, i didnt know that current significantly depended on the heat given off. I do own a couple of those vics and the fans are connected to the input so they are always at highest constant speed. It works fine for RC applications from what i know, engineers say its designed for robotics because of its strong ability to withstand stalls, and quick current inversions. But anyhow, I did however know that the breakers protect it from shortage and from stalls (almost the same thing) but i was wondering what its critical temperature would be in C or F. Anyone got any ESC thermo numbers you can throw at me? I would love to know if i even need the big fan on top...

P.S. If anyone knows other differences between IFI Victors and Hobby ESCs please dont hesitate and leme know!
