Yes, but look at the input voltage. 11.1-29.6 volts. That's pretty normal for an out-runner designed for airplanes or helis. They swing a pretty big prop, or spin the rotor head, usually on 6S Lipo packs. And that's not a small helicopter model either. Almost a .50 nitro sized bird. No doubt that's where the 80 amp current rating comes from. My guess is they sized the motor wrong for the application. At 11.1 volts, the motor isn't at it's most efficient operation, and it's doggy. Probably running less RPM then the Vario out-runner pump motor, at the same voltage.
