I wouldnt be trusting either of them for 5s

Try the Castle Mamba Monster or XERUN 150

XERUN 150 is only a few bucks more than the others you linked

Personally given your options I'd shelve it and save some more cash.

A 'budget' esc will end up being more trouble than it's worth and you've chosen a motor that, being a 2 pole is low on Torque and gets very hot. It will also be a lot harder on your batteries.

Sell the Feigao, and the 5s Lipo, Save your pennys for a Castle Combo and a good 4s set up and be done with it. The Castle MMM is fairly reliable on 4s, but on 5s or 6s it can be a bit failure prone but apparantly that's improving.

Default HK/HW 150A

I have a HK150a running 6s with a 1400 tekin motor, in a 8T/E and I'm not easy on it. 6s runs cooler and OMG is it fast. you just have to remember if your radio is neg pulse(futaba) or positive pulse like (JR PROPO) which you have to switch the throttle to neg to get it to setup correct. It's bigger then a RX8, but half the price. controller card, ESC, and shipping was $84 from China.
