Don't think you're going to find that posted. Amp draw is a function of too many variables to post a given figure. Only way I'd know is to find someone running your setup or a very similar one thats used a onboard data recorder to see what the setup is drawing.
This'll give you a range in amp draw. I did this with my Slash and a Sidewinder/5700 setup and saw a range of 8amps to 40amps, average of 18amps with spikes as high as 114amps.

This is starting to sound like a homework question...
Amps = Power (watts) / Volts...
Novak lists there 10.5 as a 235 watt motor...
235w/8.4v = roughly 28 amps...
HOWEVER, as stated before, there is a lot of load variables that will likely make it much less or more than that.
You'll need a load constant to base the amperage off of.
As far as a LiPo calculator... Data logging helps a lot, & the rules of thumb come into play.
On my 1/8th Scale, a 150amp pack is a good starting point (5000mAh x 30c).
1/10th scale a 60-100 amp pack is sufficient (3000mAh x 25-30c).
Any more "punch" is a personal preference.
