The Victors
are
a little under-rated In my opinion compared to most ESC's.
The have 3 un-heatsinked, but fan-cooled FETs which depending on the Fet-Specs I would probably put more around the 80-90 amps area, so Dan (Team Delta's comment) is probably right.
(Tip, dont play Dan (Team Delta) and Jim (Robot Market Place) off against each other, I get the feeling they're basically in competition with each other and dont like it)
I wouldnt expect them to handle high peaks very well though, since they have no "thermal mass" heatsink to dump heat into quickly, (air can only absorb a limited amount of heat), which is probably why they go a bit conservative on the rating and call it a 60amp controller when compared to other manufacturers who use heatsinks to improve the surge-handling...
About the only ESC manufacturer that rates their controllers in *real* continuous amps is Vantec. The rest of the ESC's that are intended for Combat Bot use (short duration, high intensity) tend to use more of a "averaged power" specification. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas.
