1. Quit typing in Caps...
2. What Losi Model do you have? A Mamba system will work most of the time.
If you get a brushless motor, you need a brushless ESC.

You'll want something like a mamba 5400 or 4200. Those are the two closest motors to the rpms you want. A micro mod 17T will have around 30-35K rpms at 7.2v. The mamba 4200 will do 30,240rpms @ 7.2v and the 5400 will do 38,880 @ 7.2v (all with no load... of course).
