If you were limiting current by adding resistance, I would agree with you...but there is another way to limit current...

As I understand how Tekin does it, current limiting reduces throttle by enough to keep the current draw under a specified amount...as the motor speeds up and becomes more efficient, the current draw reduces, and the ESC allows the throttle to increase. It's almost like the opposite of timing advance, but not exactly.


Think about it like this: if you drove your truck around at 50% throttle for 10 minutes, is it going to melt down because you are limiting the current to 50%? nope. Same idea, but on a dynamic adjustment calculated probably several hundred if not thousand times per second.


But I do agree with you..adding a cap or three will definately help reduce temps without really affecting the punchiness of the ESC. I just like Current Limiting because it helps keep wheel spin in check as well.
