I assume by the voltages you are running 5s?

Anyway, 60A does sound a bit low. Maybe the current sensor has to be zeroed out and recalibrated? Unfortunately, calibration requires hooking it up to a known load and entering the externally measured values vs the ET value. I would guess the mah usage is just a calculation of the cumulative current draw over time, so if the current sensor is off, so will the mAh reading. If the mah reading is about half of what you put in, I would estimate the current peaks are actually about twice as high as they are being shown, which would be more typical for a truggy.
