Unless you were trying to build a FOFF or something, that motor is way too high KV. ESC is fine, the motor isn't a fit.

I use the same esc on brushed motors its great....ive had that motor and its nit great.for much of anything...its just too fast unless you put a really tiny pinion on it ......imo im not a fan of brushless motors in scalers....theyre tough to water proof and just too fast....program that esc for brushed and either put that motor in a go fast rig or eBay it....thats my 2 cents Sent from a big fat phone |

Yup the speed control is great but that motor isn't going to make you happy. It will be waaaay too fast for that chassis to do anything but bounce around and crash.
