This is the one I'm using, also a chinese cheapo.

It handles the amps just fine. Just don't keep the throttle pegged, and don't use a spinner. Or use a small spinner, but make sure that the motor windings get hit with the full speed airflow. Proper cooling keeps these things alive at 150%+ of rated power.
The same goes for the ESC. I shorten the motor and ESC wires, and solder the together, no connectors. Shortening the motor wires is a pain though, because you have to remove the lacquer from the strands
