Hehe sorry, my mind was in english mode not thinking I was posting on an american forum, I forgot that in the states if I say oval racing you probably think of nascar with mile+ long ovals where they take the (banked) corners at 200 mph with no braking and little acceleration required, in europe full scale oval racing is done with stock cars on a flat track of similar size to a running track with hard breaking to slow and sideways corners and hard acceleration to about 100 down the straights.

A two pin oval the size I run is not constant speed but hard acceleration followed by hard braking and a sideways corner repeated at very short intervals, I doubt there is a way to punish your gear more than doing the same with traction compound on your tires, my peak amps are around 120 under acceleration but runtime is a better indication of how hard you are pushing things, 10 mins from my 4350mah pack is 4.35x60/10=an average current of 26.1 amps, what runtime do you get on your 4000mah packs? If its more than 9.2 mins my average current draw is higher.
