The esc is not an endurance racing product...It will not hold charge on the ring lol.

With the aux charger you do get very good recharge but it is still meant for street or autocross applications only.

In stock form you have about a minute and a half of boost...yes you will be charging a bit on off-throttle and braking but you aren't going to get a full 10 minute track session out of it.

Adding the aux charger will get your charge rate up but you are still asking alot of a system that is meant to be used "on demand" not "all the time"

For the street the system is perfect....more than enough boost than you will ever need, especially with the aux charger. For autocross it can work well one session at a time. For track use it is not recommended...its not built for those kind of duty cycles.
