the turnigy 40amps work ok for this motor. Hovever, a 60ampo esc is recommended and a proper selecion of EDSF impellers is needed. I have run this up to almost 800watts on a 5 blade rotor. Of course, i have no idea how long it will last at these power loadings, but i burnt out the 40amp escs.

Hi Rob, This motor is capable of 650 watts. Amps x volts = watts. So here are the numbers:
3S Lipo nominal voltage = 11.1v 3S Lipo full charge voltage = 12.6v 4S Lipo nominal voltage = 14.8v 4S Lipo full charge voltage = 16.8v
650 watts divided by 11.1v = 58.56A 650 watts divided by 12.6v = 51.59A 650 watts divided by 14.8v = 43.92A 650 watts divided by 16.8v = 38.69A
Two reasons I would not use the Turnigy 40A ESC: 1. 3S amp ratings are over the 40A constant of the ESC, while the 4S ratings are borderline. 2. Word on the street is that Hoffman Magnetics DOES NOT recommend the use Turnigy ESCs with their motors. (See the Discussions on the Beast and Wild Beast pages, people are burning their motors up) Choose wisely.
