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.
Cool that sounds fun, surely there are better suited cars than a buggy for it though?

I havent yet put a whole pack through the crt, the one's I have just got warm in short bouts of testing. Will have to time it soon though.
