Default Max Current?

I've got a Hobbyking X-car 13.5 turn sensored motor and a MMP... On HK website the motor specs say Max Current 19A...Max watts 500...Max voltage 2s-4s... Can I use it with the MMP? I see ESC's rated at 90A,120A,150A But dont know for the MMP.

The MMP will take almost ANYTHING you can throw at it...
I have a 5.5 turn motor in my ZX5 & I can get the fan to come on some times.
I have a 8.5 in my SCT & I don't think the fan works any more.
I also have a 10.5 with no fan in my RB5 & it gets warm.


Unless it is some really "odd" 13.5 the MMP will have no issues & be putting very little stress on the MMP.

I was concerned about the motor @19A... Maybe I dont understand how that rating is found or how it relates to the system its used in.

The motors ratings are kind of funny, but 19amp/500watt rating usually relates to a safe full load & max draw.

I've logged the MMP well over 120+amp spike without issue, & I've pulled over 3000mAh in six minuets... that equals an average amperage of a 30amp draw.

Somewhere I heard that the mmp had an "official" Rating of 65 amps. Amp rating isn't everything though. Many people use the mmp in ⅛ and it seems to do just fine.
