Saul,

I stand corrected on the input voltage rating. It looks like it can go up to 16s.

Turnigy CA120-70 8600W Brushless Outrunner Specifications
Model: 120-70-15
Resistance: 4.8ohm
ESC Required: 250A
Input Voltage : 30~70V
Kv : 150 rpm/V
Weight: 2550g
Shaft: 10mm
20v Non Load Current: 11A
Dimensions: 168x140x118mm (Including Mount)
Equivalent: 110cc Twin Gas Engine (20hp+)

Designed as a 100cc gas engine replacement, this motor is a great alternative for 3D and sport planes up to 35lbs! The motor is very well built with strong mounts, end bell and a concentric double bearings at the rear to support large propellers and rotating can, especially during hard 3D flight. This motor is very well engineered and of the highest quality. The factory can produce only a limited number of these motors per month due to the increased time in balancing and machining such a large object.
Greg,
If the motor received 70V and 250A that would be 17.5 kW input. It doesn't seem to be very efficient if it is only rated at 8.6kW.
Do you think China has 70V ESCs? At 50V and 250A the input would be 12.5 kW. If the motor is rated like a Hacker or a Neu and it's pretty efficient, maybe it would come closer to 12 kW of output.
At this point you've really got my attention
