The 80A was a measured peak on my wattmeter. I run about 42A continous at top speed on 4S on a stock emaxx geared 20/68. If you are running 6S and you are geared for 38mph your amp peaks would be even less than mine. I think some of it might be people that are geared for 45mph on 4S and then decide to throw in some 6S lipos on the same gearing to see what happens. Again thats a small percentage. I think most failures have been BEC related if you look at the data on the failure posts. Something to think about is that most emaxxes have 2 servos. Maybe they are pulling to much current for the BEC?
