Drag race specific esc ????
So who is gonna step to the plate and give us a esc capable of 2s to 6s drag race specific , no motor limits , ??? Anyone ?

That's 1/8 scale ESC territory.
ESC's aren't like the old microswitch stuff where you could just have it switch on for a blast, even if your run is 2 seconds your ESC still has to receive six inputs from the hall effect sensors to calculate and enact three energized windings per rotation of the rotor. At 50,000 RPM this is 5000 inputs and 2500 outputs per second. Not to mention that your ESC's internal power supply for its processor is meant to run within a certain voltage range and 6s can and will overdrive the circuit into burning the board up. I would just get an 1/8 unit and remove the cooling fan and most of the heat sink to save weight. |

spinning ain't winning
I would also consider adding more weight to the rear to get more traction too. |

amen to that... honestly I don't drag race but if I did I would go with the highest voltage I could get and use expo to tune out spinning ;)
