That makes much more sense. I guess the people who told me that didn't really know what they were talking about. So when a battery claims 30C constant, it doesn't mean it "pushes" that constantly, it means it is capable of that if the circuit requires it? How do you determine how much a motor draws? I would think you stick an ammeter in series under normal load, but you would already have to have a power source with a discharge rate greater than what is required. Otherwise, it would just max the power source out and possible damage it.
