Amp Draw

[Finnster]

You can lower the amp draw, but really that bat is fine. I have one, as do many others, and generally they are underrated. If the batt is getting hot and puffing, or not showing alot of punch, then those are signs its being overdrawn. I regularly pull 120A+ on my TRC 4s 8K batt, and its been running strong for a year. Never gets warm and voltage numbers are still great. Don't worry about it.

Then it must be something else. I had been using my truggy for a while using that setup with no issues (temps ok). Then a few weeks ago I was running the truck and it just stopped. I checked and everything was really hot, so hot the power leads unsoldered from the ESC and the shrink wrap melted off parts of the battery. At first I thought the TrueRC couldn't handle the amp draw and over heated, because after I re-soldered the ESC I used a Maxamp 4s2p lipo and it worked fine. I have since used the TrueRC pack and it to seems to be working ok, so I don't know what caused those high temps that one particular day. Thanks for the feedback.
