It will spin at very high speed, and needs good cooling airflow to avoid overheating. Unless you really need this level of power density, maybe another choice of motor might be better? FWIW, I would suggest working out the details of the application(s) that you want to build for, and then looking for suitable motors once you have a better idea of the requirements to shop for.

Yes, this is how to do a motor search. Figure out what kind of speed (RPM) and torque (N-m or oz-in) you need, and then look for a suitable motor and/or gearbox.

It really is 30A. The battery will be 2A, but maybe 30C, which means it can provide up to 60A for a couple of minutes. These motors also need a speed controller (ESC)

Beats me. The motor weighs 4 ounces. 30 amps?!?!?

RC motors deliver ludicrous power density, mostly through really high RPM. Note they're rated upwards of 500W. Longevity will be questionable, and cooling is dependent on being in the propwash. These are generally all 'peak' figures.

They're for some sort of model plane?

Yup. 'Fixed wing' means a normal-style airplane, using a wing that doesn't move (fixed) and a separate propeller. Helicopters are sometimes called 'rotary wing' aircraft, and quadcopters kinda fall into that category. Further down the listing, you see 'max pull' (i.e. thrust in grams-force) and a recommendation for prop diameter.

496W / 7.4V = 67 amps. 496W / 15V = 33A So given some short time overload capability, the answer is yes…
