In order to calculate wattage all you need to do is multiply voltage times amperage. What are you trying to figure out exactly? That motor you bought will run fine on the ESC if thats what you are wonderingHi guys
I have just brought a second HobbyWing MAX10 SCT ESC with the 3660 4000kv motor.
does any one know how much power it will produce on 3s in watts. It doesn't say it anywhere on their website or it's max amps either.
Any help would be appreciated.

with proper gearing it can run 3S. The motor is rated up to 3S and the ESC rated up to 4S. Granted he'll have to run a fairly small pinion but theres no reason it shouldnt work. granted I wouldnt go trying to run it through grass on 3S but dirt, gravel, or street should be fine.NOT ON 3 CELLS
It could but its not a direct measurement of speed or torque, its just there to help you figure out the various electrical aspects of you build. For example if you have a 160A esc and you want to make sure your motor isnt going to pull more than 160A then you could take the Wattage and divide it buy the pack volatge you're running to determine the amp draw. At least unloaded anyway. For example if the motor was 1500W and you're running it on 3S (11.1v) Then you would know by dividing 1500 by 11.1 that the amp draw of that motor will be approx 135A max and you would be theoretically safe to run that.I Know what the watt rating is but i dont really understand it. Is it a torque thing or is it a Speed thing so would more watts equal more speed?
