I am wrong about MaxAmps.

Is it possible i've hit 250amps with this rig?

Specifically a Team academy SBV2-Pro 1/10 4wd buggy, MM/5700Kv, 5000mah 3S, 15/86 gears (around 78mph on BrianG's speed calc)

I would think the tabs would have to conduct the burst rating of the pack. I mean the sustained rating is 150amps, and the continuous is 100...

So far this is the best arguement for high voltage I have seen. No matter how good the cell is, if the tabs can't handle the load, better run more volts and less amps.
