Can you damage a battery from a demanding setup?

Kiz - no need to apologise - the posters above are knowledgable but are just ribbing you a bit... It is not intended to be a newbie bash - they were just born with a personality disorder and like to wear ladies underwear.

Personally I would always size amp wise battery, esc, motor in decending order.

Battery is the life blood of your car (heart motor, ESC arteries) - don't try to skimp else you won't get the results you are looking for.
