I thought it would of been a lot more?

Say you are getting 10mins from a 3300mah battery (and ur getting 3300 from the battery so maybe ur using a 3600 :P ). That means your pulling a average of 19.8 amps (3.3amps/hr = 19.8amps in 10mins). Now, thats if your on the throttle that whole ten mins, and ur not so lets say ur on it 75% of the time. thats now 29.7 amps.. ?

Drop the runtime down to 5mins and we have almost 60 amps at throttle usage of 75% of the time? That seems way too much - where have I gone wrong?.

(ok you also have servos, receiver but im talking roughly rough...)
