Default esc question?

this probably a dumb question.....if an esc has a 35 turn motor limit would it work for a 100 turn motor??

Yes, it will work.

Just curious, what are you running a 100T motor in?

just to let you know the motor limit on the esc means it cant't handle anything under the limit it says. anything above is fine

With motors, the lower turn windings, the more amps the motor will draw to produce the same amount of torque. So a 35T motor will draw way more amps (and put more stress on your electronics) than a 55T or even a 100T would in the same bind or climbing the same obstacle.

This example assumes that you have the same number of poles in the motors.
