All,

If a motor limit is not stated on an esc, what is the best way of working one out, is it burst ampage, continuous ampage or some other measure?

Eg, if say an esc has 100A continuous limit, is there a way of getting a rough motor limit from this!?

The Motor is whats gonna pull the power - not the ESC. Sooo, all you need to do is make sure that the ESC is rated above the motor.

Some ESC's have a current limiter - but its not common. (RX8)

All ESC's have a current limit based on components used in their design

Ideally you want the ESC continuous amp rating to be higher than your motor's burst amp rating

Cheers

You haven't supplied enough info, there are too many variables involved, really can't just look up a couple of spec sheets and get a good answer.

What RC is it for, and how are you intending to use it? (weight of RC, drive type/traction, gearing, battery voltage, intended use, etc determine how hard the motor will work, and thus the amperage it will need)

And what ESC? (there may be info you haven't found, and/or experience as a guide)

Really the only way to do it without more info to compare to collective experience is to buy a data logging system or wattmeter and experiment. But provide some more info and we should be able to come up with a decent estimate.

It's the Tamiya TBLE-01S, I can't find much info myself! I'm not bothered if it's "good", just what it can handle. Reason is, it would likely be used normally in 10.5 tc which I'm sure it can handle, but would also be backup for my buggies, 5.5-7.5 2wd and 4wd both!
