When I was researching ESC's to use with the FOA kits, I spoke at length with Mike Copioli at Cross the Road Electronics (the designer of the Talon). First off, this guy knows his shit when it comes to ESC's. Secondly, he stated that though the Talons don't have current limiting, they have been tested to 100A with no problems. He said the 60A max figure was a conservative one. I wouldn't worry about these things overheating and besides, you can easily mount a fan to them for extra cooling. As to high amps in general, I think many over-estimate how much our vehicles draw on average. My Cromwell is protected by a single 60A fuse which has never blown in 7 years of battling. And that drive-train isn't some wimpy 350W scooter motor setup. That's dual 950W (150A stall) EV Warriors being driven by your truly!
