Developing Standards to Properly Rate Esk8 Components

This is a really great point about endurance vs. maximum current before failure; a shit ESC could max out a lot of current under a max cont. current test but blow under half that current under long term usage.

Not sure how endurance could be tested to make a fair comparison across all hardware though, since the cont. current that some ESCs can handle might be enough to blow another ESC instantly and if you endurance test a low current they may never fail lol…

Not to mention the electricity costs of running hundreds of amps for days or weeks on end lmao

@BluPenguin

Continuous rating means nothing to life cycle of the product. It is possible to push high continuous ratings through subpar components if it means that the part will only last a month of use, so endurance and ultimate reliability needs to be tested too.

So much this.

Low failure rate is far more important to me than maximum continuous current

We have many dyno

Exactly! Predictable, consistent performance is EVERYTHING.
