Cool!

This motor/mount is really awesome!!!

About the current draw;

Plain simple;

If a car is geared for 40 mph on 3S lipo, the current draw will be higher than that same car geared for 40 mph on 5S.

But.... It's rather uncommon to increase the number of cells to get more runtime... If you use more lipo's you obviously need more power. If you need more lipo's to get more speed, the current(A) will also increase.

The numbers they are talking about don't mean nothing to me. The current they take varies a lot. weight of the vehicle, maxximium amount of power the batteries can deliver before their voltage will drop, gearing, and the power they take under acceleration.
