The system will draw what the system is setup to draw, regardless of what battery you use. If you are geared to draw 100amps, that is what you will draw. Now if the battery cannot handle 100 amps you will have battery and esc issues, and alot of heat before something craps out. Their recommendation of 4000 20c lipo is way too low, but the rest of the info is good and should be listened to.

The 80% rule should also be applied to DOD (depth of discharge) as well. If you want your lipos to last as long as possible, only removing 80% of the total capacity (mah) from them is a good idea. Plane guys do this, but they usually time their flights in order to do this. You could probably do the same thing with a few test runs and a stop watch. Not sure if setting the lvc higher will gaurantee good result with trying to stay under 80% DOD.
