Anderson Power Pole for motors

We have been considering using Anderson Power Pole connectors in conjunction with the new Victor SP or Talon SRX. Here is an example of the connectors we are considering.

The concern I have is their current rating is 45 Amps. When we do the calculation on possible max current we may pull through them is a pushing match etc, we come up with numbers that are 50% higher than that quite often.
I realize the pushing match current is usually a short term current, but sometimes it runs a several seconds longer than desired.

So, what has been your experience with these, or this type of connector when used in drive trains?
