Now, depending on the application, a ESC will push a bit more AMPs, but it'll be for a couple of seconds or less. Example, one of the ESCs I have here is rated for 100A and I've used it in my dragster and saw a burst AMP of 170A+ for less then a second. The same ESC I used in 12th scale racing in a small track and saw an avg. of 15A during a 5 minute heat.
