Testing big motor on mamba?

[magudaman]

I have a 1500w BMC brushless motor coming on thursday and don't have a controller to run it yet. I want to just test the motor out to make sure it rotates and doesn't have a blown coil or anything, since I bought from someone who claimed it was new. So can I use my mamba max at 16.5v to just try and get the motor to spin. It seems it would be fine but just don't want to blow it or anything. Oh here is a picture of the motor for fun:
