Nope, the ESC does not push current, neither do the packs.
The motor will draw the amount of current it needs to spin the load, the bigger prop, the more current it will draw. If that current is higher than the motor can take, it will heat up until blowing. The current is drawn from the batteries through the ESC. If there is more current passing through the ESC than it can handle, it will also heat up until meltdown. There is nothing pushing current, therefore you can have components rated for as high as you want, I ran a 140A ESC on an airboat drawing 20-25 amps once." |
