    Hi all just received a TP 4050 V1 1330 KV MOTOR IN THE MAIL .There was no amp draw chart include with the motor. I plan on installing this motor in my 34 inch wild thing mono on 6s 1p 5000 mah lipo i was told it could swing up to a 48 mm dia prop. What size esc do i require ?

    OSE Raider 150 would do, other options are Seaking 180 or ztw 200.

    ZTW 150A High Voltage, perfect if you want to try 8S

    Thanks to all for the replies . to answer fweasel mostly sport running with a possibility of racing or saw down the road. I guess for now i will use my Swordfish 220 amp pro + esc . Regards Andris Golts.

    My Wildthing is a 4s PL offshore boat. It's on the edge on 4s , 6s maybe a bit much for that size of hull.

    You need to size the ESC to the motor, prop is secondary unless you want to mismatch completely.
    The 4050 specs as per OSE:
    Specs:
    Watts Continuous: 2350
    Watts Max: 5000

    Current is power (watt) / voltage
    4S ~ 15V
    6S ~ 23V

    5000/23 = 217A

    Most likely you will not get the max on 4S and you will stay below.
    I'd go with a 200A minimum.
