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.
