This mainly applies to airplane/heli/EDF where guys would overload/overprop a motor and then try to back the EPA down to keep it from melting.

It would be no different than driving an entire heat at half throttle. Would you be afraid to do that?

I maybe wrong but I believe I read this on Castle's webpage.
