The amp draw is based on the load (prop) and how the boat is set up and driven, not on theoretical math based on fake facts. The Kv x volts again gives a theoretical rpm without load, under load the rpm will decrease.

That motor on 2S should draw around 20-40 amps if correctly propped. It is a small cheap motor and won’t handle more without damage.
Thanks for help, I still have mush to lean!
I got my info for a Youtube video i watch: Matching Motor, ESC, & Battery, : www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlSa2f76QiU&t=344s

When I test the Motor up against my transmitter with 2S, without install prob-shaft it start and run great from low rpm and up. But if i install shaft or just gentle lay a finger on the motor axles it will not run. The motor have big problems to start running, but if first start running, it have no problems.

I have calibrate it with my Transmitter, what can be wrong?
