Anyway, the burst amperage is probably around 100. That would equate to over a 30C rate burst. At those levels, voltage WILL dip and trip your LVC.

Just to clarify, I was getting about 11 mins using 1800 mah of the 3200mah pack. And the hyperion pack is rated 30c cont and 50c burst (according to allerc).

That's about the average power usage of all the guys I race with. I don't think anyone ever does a proper race with less than 300w average draw, some guys have the odd race with 400w+ draw.
