I test my amp draw by tying the truck to a pole on cement and giving her full thrott a few times..... then I take the highest reading... either in watts or amps.. I use an AC amp meter, don't like the idea of skinny wires on the watt meter..

Lutach.. I've had over 100A spikes with my 7XL also...

Joelying.. And you are definatly correct, all of my trucks gives the highest amp rating while accelerating.. when it reaches full throttle, the amp draw drops back down...
