Motor Controllers

[electroken]

I'm not questioning any thing you've said, and I fully understand that the slug of aluminum only buys time, and in the end the vast majority of heat must be radiated to the environment through the 1.5-ish square inches of aluminum exposed to the air.

Having spent some time within the Talon SR and the Spark, it is my opinion that teams familiar with the Talon SR will see similar results from the Spark.

This question has resurfaced for me especially with the creation of the new motor controllers such as the spark.

Well the new Talon SRX is best if you can take advantage of what it offers over the Victor SP which is control by CAN and direct sensor feedback (encoders). This is why it costs more. If you can't take advantage of that then the Victor SP is better because it is cheaper and offers the same size advantages as the SRX. Hope that helps.

Also, Jag - ewww - don't use that...
