Does anyone know what the limits of the x8s is? Im considering it for a project

I run the x8 in my Q Sport Hydro and it does just fine.

Realistically from my testing 225-250A continuous and 300A peak. It will start to clip above 300A.

Here are some pictures of the X8S Hydra. A very nice compact water cooled ESC. And it's fully potted like its big brother so waterproof for boats!
