wow, that's good stuff. even w/o heat generation, the smaller cross sectional area of the 16 awg is inferior to larger wires in terms of energy transfer. is that not a substantial concern?

also, when you consider the frequency that our esc's operate at, is there any consideration taken to the shape of the waves? my understanding is that our esc's use a pulsed dc square wave that oscilates from 0 to battery voltage. does the skinning phenonemon occur with this type of signal? or must the signal be a sinusoidal wave symetric about zero volts much like a/c?
