Although starting s real vehicle does take alot of amps it is only for a second or two and then it can rest for minutes or hours before being needed again. In an RC car or truck we may not be seeing the 200+Amp peaks but we see an average of about 30 amps for 15 minutes with regular spikes in the 150Amp range. The battery is getting a good draw on it for the duration of a run, right to the cut off. Lets see a Max Amp pack take that abuse. My last MA pack that puffed was rated at 100A continuous 200A burst, I was getting bursts of 167A and an average over the run of between 25 and 30Amps.
