Question Real AMPs on ESC / Ratings

Hi there,
I have a question about ESC ratings.
The new 1:10 ESCs (i.e. Hobbywing XR10 PRO) have an AMP rating of 160A/1200A (continuous/peak).

There is something I don't understand. How can 1200A flow through 12AWG cables? Even 160A looks like impossible to me.
Am I missing something about measure units or something? If we compare the figures to a real car and its battery, it's a non-sense.

Can somebody explain me something more? I searched through various forums, but with no results.

Many thanks!
