That isn't very much current draw for an 1/8 scale motor. What motor?

To answer your question yes those numbers are compatible.

3s is probably going to be pretty tame, just so you know.

On 3s its not going to be spectacular in any department. If you ran two of your 3s packs in series that same motor would motivate that emaxx real well.

Bashing, it will make very little difference.
