Argument thread: Low specc batteries don't kill ESC's. Or do they?

OK...

so let's say we have a pumper truck hooked up to the fire hydrant.

We arent talking about water, the analogy simply doesnt work when you start getting into specifics or trying to blur the two subjects.

Voltage will drop when when current rises, that is the key thing to remember about batteries, so buy batts that can supply sufficient current before they become over-worked. The MMM system has been observed to pull peaks in excess of 120 amps, so lipos that can provide a maximum continous current of 120amps are recommended; they will however only be supplying about 20-40amps continously in reality, with 120-130amp peaks lasting mere milli seconds..
