I hear what you're saying.
The reason I suggest that the highest spikes are not being recorded is because I see minimal difference in the highest currents logged in my 30c 3600mah 10s vs. 40c 5000mah tests (92-99Amps - And part of that difference could be explained by slightly different gearing). Anyway, looking at the logger would indicated similar performance between the two sets of packs.
But, in fact, what I observed is that the 40c packs had much more punch when driving - clearly noticable differences in acceleration. The truck was easy to control under hard acceleration on the 30c packs - whereas with the 40c packs it had significantly more power (and therefore somewhat harder to control). This difference did not register in the logger, however. It simply may not have the sensitivity to detect very short, high spikes.
Those are my observations, anyway.
