Re: New Speed Controllers :)

draining 120A continously will COMPLETELY drain your battery in 9 minutes flat. SO think about it if you have 2 motors (probally drive) running around 120. you battery will completey be drained in 4.5 minutes. Not to mention everything else your running. This means (estimate only) that by the end of the match your battery would be around 6-7 volts maybe. do you really wanna drain your batteries that fast? Besides doesn't that ruin them?
