With 6Ah of charge in those packs you will have absolutely know problem doing a couple of warm up laps, followed by a 20minute main, followed by a couple of victory laps (after you smoke those nitros) :D:D:D
Current, eh? High voltage could actually be more likely to kill a controller than high amps, since these controllers usually have thermal shutdowns caused by the heat produced when a lot of current is drawn. High voltage can actually damage the components, and that is a huge reason why there are capacitors on the input of controllers like the Warriors and MGMs.
