It's because you went above the recommended Amp draw of 350v for the MMX8S. Looks like you pulled 385A is why it flagged. I get it occasionally as well just pulled logs from my stagnant passes made yesterday and got it as I did like 351 Amps. It's just a warning stating that the ESC could be damaged as it's above the recommended threshold. But ya sucks think I'm tapped out on 6s unfortunately with the motor I'm running so have to go up to 8s here's my log that threw the warning as well.

Crazy I'm pulling a little more HP on 6s than you running 8s lol.

Its usely just under 8hp on 6s an just under 11hp on 8s ..wonder if taller gearing putting more of a strain on motor would pull a higher hp #??

The MMX8s starts giving you the "exceeding maximum thresholds" message after you apply Castles latest software version to it, the one meant to prevent it from catching fire. None of my MMx8s ever gave me that message before I changed to the new software version, now they do it after any run. I did a run on my Typhon with under 300 amps, and the esc still gave me that message when I checked the logs. They all still run well, just annoying to see that message
