Default RE: Is this a .46 electric motor..power wise?

4 of those would be OK for the C-130. That would be 2000 watts. You will need a BIG 4 cell pack 8000 mAH minimum. Personally I would look for a motor about that size with a lower Kv, in the 600 to 700 range and use 6 cells. This would get the current down and allow you to use 14AWG wire instead of the heavier 12 gage and 30 amp ESC's, like the CC HV-30.
