Hi m8

If the motor is trying to pull 90-100amps and the battery cannot give this say a 3500 25c that can only give 25c so thats 87.5amps , the battery is at risk of 'puffing' where the cells puffup and can burst into flames if pushed too far (however this is highly unlikley) , also you wont get a motor and a spedo in a 1/10th car that pulls 100amp most spedos that say they can cope with 250A+ that is utter crap they cannot a 1/8th spedo can only just handle 150A , a 1/10th brushless motor will pull between 60-100Amp and thats 'silly motors' as you refer to them. so you dont have to worry.

Only worry if the battery is like a 2400 10c then your in trouble

Hope this helps
John
