I've seen that. Impressive for an 1,800 watt motor but the engine in my Baja is much more powerful than that. A 2215 is rated to 5,000 continuous watts, hard to get a gas engine to reliably compete with that.

Yeah, there are very few gassers that small that can produce 6.7hp cont.

The 5000 watts rating is for airplane with good airflow. I see a lot of people going by those number not realizing it's not for cars. In a plane where you get good airflow you'll be able to attain such a number and the AMP usage in a plane is not like the AMP usage we car guys see. We see burst, many bursts to be exact, which will sometimes go over what a motor and esc is rated for.
