I believe that would be maximum continuous watts, most BL motors I've looked at for typical MT or 1/8 scale use are in the 900watt upto 1500watt range.

The novaks are still pretty good at shifting lighter weight stuff, and dont consume as much go-juice in the process compared to say an MMM or Rx8 etc.

However, DO NOT GO BY THE SURGE WATTS RATING ON MAXAMPS LIPOS AS ITS TRIPE, AND DO NOT TRY TO CALCULATE HOW MANY SURGE WATTS YOUR SETUP WILL USE AS ITS NEAR ENOUGH IMPOSSIBLE.

Use common sense (if you have any) and read around to learn about proper lipo choice for any given motor/esc/vehicle setup- there are zillions of threads here, so use the search button.

Or just buy a pair of 30c 5000mah 2s lipos from hobbycity.com.
