RE: RC Surfer

It doesn't matter what the motor is rated for. It could be rated for 1000amps. It all depends on the current the motor is drawing with a load on it. In this case, the load is the prop in the water which should only draw about 15amps max. We are all using larger ESCs here in order to sink the heat that gets generated.
FYI
I also once purchased one of the 19T motors for an RC motorcycle and it ran for about 5 minutes before it turned into a smoking heap of junk. That is why I only use the brushless motors now. They can handle the voltage and current from all batteries. Trust me, its worth investing in these if you are serious about RC.
