Default RE: 700 9.6v neodym fries esc

In my opinion they have left out a "point" in the current values. A bad typo if you will.
Perhaps it should read ...
Peak 94.0 Amps
Continuous 28.0 Amps.
I bought an ESC for $16.00 that was rated at 200 Amps forward & 100 Amps reverse at 7.2v. Knowing that it could not be right, judging by the tiny wires & cheap plugs on it in the advertising photo, I bought it anyway to test it out.
As suspected the specs should have read 20.0 Amps forward & 10.0 amps reverse. It is in no way a 200 Amp ESC.
But for $16.00 it did the job that I bought it for. Gets moderately warm at 15.0 Amps (not water cooled) on 7.2 V.
But yes... it is false advertising.
This is the one
