Should battery taxes be higher than car taxes?

1C is one times the battery capacity. So 12C continuous, is 8000mAH * 12 = 8.0A *12 = 96A under normal conditions.

RC has a funny nomenclature. I know, ...made me say WTF at first too.

That is just the wackoest system I've come across.

The burst is for under 60 seconds, at 144 Amps!

Yikes, 13 gauge wire isn't rated to carry more than 30A! Even at 96A, you'd most likely melt off the insulation. At 144A, that's almost certainly a fire starter.
