Theoretically you are right but after 5 minutes neither esc nor motor were warm so I am nowhere near the limit although it was about minus 3 deg when I done it.i agree it would be hard to race such a fast motor but I was trying make the point that a supercharged 13.5 can easily emulate an 8.5 power output or even lower.
