This is true, but of course I was referring to the other way around (i.e. a Tekin T8 setup requiring 10AWG but having 12AWG on the battery or ESC leads or Motor, ect.

That is a fairly good idea, but honestly I will just give it away, or at the most like $20. A melted ESC is worthless after all and there is no guarantee that Tekin will "play ball" if you know what I mean...
Regardless, this thread is incorrect. I learned quite a bit more about amperage since posting this thread. While C ratings are still useless, the actual SAFE amperage is not just 25% of the C rating. In fact, the percentage varies alot, like ALOT ALOT. So I will be creating a new thread on the subject, sometime today. Im hoping it will get the attention of many users and moderators, and hopefully get "stickied"
