wow how could you get more than 100 amps with 14 cells? at least you got it sorted out.

I think a gp battery will put out 100 amps. If it shorted out it would draw a 100 amps. My question is. Did it short out?

Coolhand, the method you used testing the motor is fine, but you need to know what your doing. You are allmost shorting the cell at 0 ohm, and 1 cell can trow out a 110A+ so the motor might get burned if you keep it on too long. testing a motor is easy; Just whort two wires at random, and you should feel a pulsing resistance, if you short them all three, the resistance should be equal, no matter what possition the rotor is in. (it works like a generator that way)

the batterys didnt short they wernt even hot so how the hell did i get 100A through to ESC surley if the ESC shorted that should be under warenty

You got a good point. I was think that maybe where the jumper went on touched the chassis. I did that to a Ubec. Needless to say I didn't use the ubec anymore.

I understand what you saying serum. I didn't keep the battery on there. Just testing. Touch it and see if anything happens. Didn't want to touch all three.

BK once tested one of my Warriors, and they told me I had numerous 130 amp peaks! Only ran a 9L and 14 cells on this one.

Don't ask me why.

Maybe a bound up drivetrain?? :C:
