Sounds like a pretty good list to me Mike, though I would add a first aid kit of some sort "just in case". BTW, I wasn't trying to disect what you were saying about ESCs, as I am in total agreement that a bigger motor will require more juice and a heavier ESC. Many beginners have little to no concept of how an electric drive works, or what the polarity of battery posts means. I was just trying to avoid confussion, as electrical terminology can get very confusing.
