Not always- a single A123 cell = 2300mah, but its current output is much better, around ~70 amps or so I believe.

But i guess the 8xl will only pull 80a though.
May be continously, but it will pull peaks around 120amps or so.

I got mamba max esc so i cant really run 6s a123 i dont think.Oh Well i ordered two 3s a123s on ebay so i guess ill just wait and use them in series when i get a mamba monster, lol.

Not ideal, infact castle have stated in no uncertain terms that if a user uses an unsuitable battery that produces ripple currents due to poor current output under load, the esc wont be covered under warrenty.

You HAVE to use a 2p configuration when running the MMM with any large BL motor like a feigao XL or the CastleNeu etc.
