Not really, this is only really true for Marui-spec guns running weak springs and slow ratio gears, and is somewhat artificially capped by Tamiya connectors.
Drawing 25A to 35A of continuous (non-burst) current is common and not at all abnormal, and not at all indicative of something going on with your motor. I am working with someone to contribute my part towards a wider array of data on this, but evidence/data coming soon.
For now I'll say that 25-35A of continuous is absolutely within spec for a range of motors, battery types, gear ratios and spring strengths, mostly higher spring strengths and mostly higher-torque motors, but totally fine. There has been data gathered by folks over at ASM to indicate that spikes or bursts are a couple times higher than that on some setups.
