RE: which ESC for me?
You can use a 25 amp esc. Greatplanes C25 mini esc for 2-3 lipos or any battery NiCd or Nimh. Castle Creations Pixie 25. Kontronics 25 esc. Most if not all esc's for brushed motors today are Lipo ready. Some are programmable, some Jeti esc's, some are not. Tower hobbies and Hobbylobby can help you decide, also Price, at least in my case, is also a determing factor.
Have fun............ ISIS
