On my setup I was seeing peaks of ~120A and a continous draw of around 40A. Now continuous draw didn't happen for about 3secs after a hard launch and the truck was upto full spd. Bashing/racing will be alot more peaky.

I would think if those are 40c burst (~150A) it would likely be ok. Its running it a bit hard, but I would think they would be ok. Perhaps someone with direct exp can chime in. If possible, I would go with a slightly larger batt (like a 4900) to give some more headroom and runtime tho.
