In my e-maxx, I would expect to get around 10 or so minutes runtime on my track(the kokam 3200s in 4s will last me around 7 minutes in race conditions), so my amp draw is nowhere near the full rated discharge. The rated 70 amp continuos current woudn't last a 5 minute race. Real world use will yield twice that or more(half the rated amp draw), so they are plenty in the safe zone. Just to get the cells to last a 5 minute race, the average amp draw would only be 2/3 of the rated capacity. The reality is that the cells in even an open design get very little airflow with the body on the vehicle.
