The baby-Os aren't the best speed controller, I have had no issues running 2S 2HP motors but I have seen 4 failures from 3S 2HP motors - although Anticide has been running this for a few years. I wouldn't want to try running 4HP motors as that would release the magic blue smoke.

I wasn't planning on running more than 2HP motors on 2S :)
Should be fine.

Are the baby-O ESCs any smaller than the sabretooths?
