okay, and I see the MMM V3 ESC has 120A continuous current.

I have seen a battery pack that has 390 amps.

Do I read you wrong if you mean that the amps on a ESC should be as high as possible?

Because here thety say that you have to try to get a battery with a amp that is as high as possible: http://www.beatyourtruck.com/prodrev...stermamba.html

The take-away here is that most folks don’t know how much their system really draws, and as a result, use an underpowered battery to run it. I gotta admit, even with playing with high powered BL gear for some time now, I was surprised to see 150A+ peak draws. That’s a tremendous amount of current, and most folks don’t have batteries that can do that. Don’t underestimate the current requirements. I’d say to be safe, your battery system should be able to deliver at least 150A.

so if this particular ESC can handle 120A and you have a battery capable of 390 amps, than you are safe? :) or am I mixing stuff up here
