Ya thats a great point. So really then we should be telling everyone to buy a battery that has a continuous rating of what we expect the surges to be. There is also a huge range on C rating. My 11.1V, 10C 5000mah truerc battery can hold 40-50A with good voltage with bursts of over 120A according to their website. My ebay 11.1V, 10C 5000mah battery can hold 10A at around 9.6V and weighs about half as much. I dont use either of these on my MMM though, but I bet the truerc battery would work fine.

I dont know if this matters, but my velineon ESC weeds out the bad batteries by the use of LVC. Its set very sensetive from the factory and on cheap batteries I get approx 10 seconds runtime from a full charge on a 10C cheap 5000mah battery before it shuts down. When the ESC pulls too much current and the voltage drops it shuts down. Shouldnt the same thing be happening on the MMM? If not maybe setting this feature from the factory so its more sensitive might help to prevent failures due to bad batteries?
