You're talking hundreds of amps.
Not really, for testing out the electronics you would not run all these motors at once, and you would not be running the drivetrain under load, etc. 10 amps or less should be sufficient. The only thing that I can see causing problems could be the compressor, if you try to start it when there is pressure in the system it will draw a big load on startup.
