I can't believe it doesn't log amps. That's the primary reason I was going to get this esc.

Are they going to add it?

That's the only useful piece of info imo. Everything else is just fluff. I can stop my car and measure motor and esc temps and can calculate what the motor rpm is. And the lvc is for managing volts. The only thing I didn't know is what kind of power the system was actually pulling.

I have heard reading amps is harder then it sounds like. I don't know personally what it all involves but they are working on that. Data logging will be a work in progress guys.

Guys grabbing amp draw isn't hard but it's not "small" in the esc. Be patient, the data logging will only be getting better and more refined as we go. Remember we're races as well.

RPM, Voltage, an temp are very good streams to follow during a run. While I agree amp draw is and can be important I'd argue that mah use vs. run time is simply and effective as well in regard to competing.
