If you do get the 150A model, be aware that it won't accurately measure spikes much above 150A. The HE senser becomes extremely nonlinear above its rating, so even though it still graphs higher currents, they are more than likely well above 150A.

Is there a model that has a higher amp rating?

I mainly bash, but i would like to see how different gearing and Different motors affect the amp draw rates. I also want to test my 30c turnigy batteries against my neu 30c batteries.

no, I have a 150 and have only seen a few people get spikes over 150amps in truggys running 6s on 2200kv motors

AFAIK, Eagletree currently only goes up to 150A. There may be other brands that can do higher, but have not heard much about them. ET seems to be the standard.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. I've recorded peaks of ~145A on a CRT.5 running 3s geared for 40mph. And I've calculated peaks around 200A on my XT8 (5s) geared for ~35mph.

This is a thread I started a while back concerning the inaccuracy: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22653

I'm not saying an ET is a bad idea. Far from it actually. Just be aware of the potential for inaccuracy above its rating. Also, if you do get one, don't forget to calibrate it: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21964
