Neither... the controllers pulse a voltage (12v in our case). http://homepages.which.net/~paul.hil...llersBody.html Has a little more info.

Edit: Thinking more on it. JesseK is "correct" as far as I can tell. Because of the pulsing of the output you are limiting the amount of current which limits the amount of torque. He is correct but I wanted to make sure there was no confusion about how an ESC worked.
