The Victor SP has a sustained current rating of 60A. In an FRC application, it's protected by a breaker that will trip after at most 47 seconds at that load. It's already over specified for an FRC application. So no, I don't think thermally overloading Victors is a common occurrence in FRC.
On the other hand, the world is bigger than FRC, so I suspect there is in fact a market for a controller that is $20 cheaper than a Talon SRX but has enough smarts to protect itself from overcurrent and overheating.
