ORIGINAL: quist
The connector that plugs into the receiver is not rated for 7.5 amps.
Prove it, I will apologize if you can.

So now it's the connector and not the wire. I and others have run load tests on this equipment, and think about this for a second. If the bus is rated for 20 amps, how would anyone get 20 amps to the bus?

22 guage wire is rated for just over 7 amps.

My battery systems are 20 gauge or better.

Oh, and a quick search on Google found me this chart:

What I can't figure out is why you continue to make the above claim without sitting back, taking a minute and looking up the information you are claiming. We're not talking a .40 size trainer here are we? Cause if we are, you are right, a ten dollar 4.8 volt pack, might eat itself up trying to handle the load of 6 digital servos in a split S at 200 MPH. Wait, a .40 size trainer won't do that.
