I was thinking about this motor...what kind of ESC would you guys then recommend?

That's a 380 size motor. You need to look for 540 sized. For ESC's just look at the specs and see how many turns it can handle.

I thought that for a couple minutes, sorry for my ignorance about a lot of that stuff. I will search on...thanks!!!

This is better, yes? It says 60 turns, so I have to get an ESC below 60, right?

or could you recommend a motor/ESC combo?

The higher the turns, the slower the motor, the standard silver can for instance is 27T, the Tamiya 'black can' sport tuned is 25T I think.

If you want more speed, maybe go for 25 or 23T or maybe just a better 27T motor. A 60T motor is for a rock crawler type vehicle, it will get to around 3.5kRpm the standard motor does around 15k rpm.
I use a 60t to train my kids to drive remote controlled cars because they are very slow but also very powerful.
I also use 19T motors in my faster vehicles, some with modified gearing.

The esc you choose must be able to handle the correct number of turns or lower.
So for a 27t motor the esc must be 27t or 19t or 12t etc... Not 35t.

My personal preference is these esc's --> www.ebay.co.uk/...3cdb051b24

This explains tons, thank you. I will look for a diff. 27 or a 23T then.

Is this considered an upgrade from the stock motor? I really dont wanna drop 40-50 bucks on a motor upgrade from the get go.

Ive read that this ESC is the best value for the money, Im gonna have to go with that!
