Yeah, it's a 3000w motor, but not too many people use it to that level. You'd have to gear very high to pull that kind of power. And, at 4s, 3000w equates to 202A. A setup that draws this level of current would have 1.5 minute runtime. So we obviously don't use these motors at those levels.

Since we get ~20 minutes of runtime on 4s 5Ah packs, that means we are pulling average currents of ~15A with bursts around 120A. As long as the setup is geared right, the MM will work fine.
