It can vary from motor to motor, and turn to turn (load on the motor plays a big part, as do the type of current the batteries can supply). What ESC did you buy in the first place? It may be easier to just start there.

It also makes a huge difference if you got an airplane ESC or a car ESC.
Car ESCs are designed for a really high momentary load and not a super high continuous current.
Airplane ESCs are designed for higher continuous loads but not as high momentary.

Keep in mind also, airplane ESCs generally have a continuous flow of air over them, whereas a car ESC may not (body on, stop and go runs, etc.). This means more active cooling than a car, and thus, the manufacturer can rate the ESC a bit higher than if it were to be something like a car ESC.
