i dunno about that toy car but my rc car pulls a lot more than 15 amps. easily. its all about the motor too. as the fp motor would have close to or less than the performance of a standard 540 closed endbell motor in rc terms, so is not that powerful and pulls fewer amps, but take a 5turn single, it will pull aloooooooot of amps. my speed controller is rated for a max 610 amps and a continuous (5min) of 90 amps for a reason. cheaper ones will fry in a couple seconds with a hot motor.

I'm guessing that E-Maxx motors are already better than the FP motor. I believe by RC terms the FP would be considered 540 size and the E-Maxx motors would be considered 550 size. Now, if you could get a pair of Chias in an E-Maxx, oh, that would be one crazy truck.

actually, i think it would be a slower truck. im not too into monster trucks, only 1/10 scale cars but at this size, everything is about weight/power ratios. the chias probably weigh too much for a good performance. maybe on some 1/5 cars it might be decent but definitly wont win anything even if it was legal. because rc motor makers design them specifically for rc.
