HI !

How many amps will a feiago 12xl pull in a 1/8 buggy on 6s lipo geared 18/46 ?

Continuous, maximum, or what are you looking for? There is no way to give you a number, since there are so many variables that go into amp draw calculations. Here are just a few of those variables:
-resistance of battery
-driving style
-terrain (drag)
-tire size/weight

Maximum ammount is the spikes.

Even an inexact number is hard to arrive at. Maybe you missed this part of his post?

Its really hard to say (as said) but if you are looking to get the right batts for it, I would plan on 70A (ie a 20C 3700 6S pack.) You may be able to get away w/ a smaller batt, but IDK, nor does anyone until you run it. I wouldn't go under a 3200 pack.

In a buggy I don't see it drawing any more than that under "normal" circumstances
