Gunnu ,
Get a watt meter connect your ESC and MOTOR to it and give it full throttle see how much amp the motor is drawing for example
If a motor a is drawing 18 Amp and the ESC is rated at 20 Amp the esc will get hot , but if you go for a 30 Amp ESC it would barely get warm . But then again you can put the esc out for better cooling if you dont want to do this

 :iagree:  But , if you don't want purchase a watt meter , just buy the stock propeller from here - http://rcbazaar.com/products/1539-skysurfer-v3-prop.aspx (http://rcbazaar.com/products/1539-skysurfer-v3-prop.aspx) and it should work great with stock motor , because the stock propeller is 6 inch , and yours is 7 inch

7 inch prop will not fit, you have to cut some foam out.

Devangflyer , but dont you think an electric flyer should have that meter its always good to know about the stats
In the longer run it will also help him to choose between different props
