Does anybody have experience with this line of motors?

It seems the motor I was asking about has been removed from the HK site. Guess I will have to stick with the silver can motors.

I just got myself an 8.5 to run in a TC. The track is indoors and rather tight, short to med straight, lap times are around 10 seconds with a 21.5.
Can anyone recommend a starting point for timing and fdr for this motor. I normally run 17.5 boosted at 6.5 at this particular track.

http://www.oversteerracecentre.com.au/. - apparently it's a 300sqm track.
Should I start as conservative as FDR 9-10 you think, or too much?

Start maybe 8 and work down as you come to terms with the new found power and speed. I run in 10.5T spec class in Brisbane, i am about .5-1 FDR higher than most guys currently because it is rather fast and i have still not come to terms with it. Motor comes off track at about 50Deg C so i am hardly pushing it.
Have a play and see where you are at with it. You really cant go wrong.

I've got the motor at 3.95 with full motor timing on an Xray t3'12 with a Hobbywing v3 ESC. Tires are spec Sweeps 28s. I might even back off a bit on the motor timing cuz this thing is RIDICULOUSLY fast. The torque and pull are crazy and I'm easily the fastest 17.5 on the straight.
Again 120f after 6-7 minutes (I always practice too long)... Can't beat the value! I'll be hanging on to it for a while and then test it against a d3.5. Like I said earlier though, I MUCH prefer it to my revtech 17.5 with HT rotor. More end speed, more torque, and cooler temperatures.
If only I could drive better!

The battery I plan on using is a NanoTech 4200 65C shorty.
Last I noticed that the claimed max current is 28A. Having an ESC with 100A sure would be nice but does anyone run with less?
Specs:
Can Size: 540
Turns: 17.5
RPM/v: 2270kv
Sensored: Yes (Standard 6 pin harness)
Max voltage: 7.4 (2S)
Max Current: 28A
Max Watts: 190w
Can Diameter: 36mm
Can Length: 53mm
Shaft Size: 3.175mm
Weight: 177g

Hi. I'm new to RC and just pulled the trigger for a Turnigy Silver (2S) 17.5 motor from HK. I would like to get recommendations on a ESC to pair with this motor. I plan to join the local F1 club. I saw some of the local set ups and no one is really using this motor (yet). I'm on a medium (sub $100) budget so the Hobbywing V3 or LRP Flow are not possible. Can anyone recommend an ESC from HK?

Add in this program cars, especially if you are running in a blinky class to show that you are using no timing, or just to make changes to all the other parameters.

RogerDaShrubber: Thank you. I just ordered the HK X-Car 45A ESC. Can't wait to try it with the Turnigy 17.5 motor. I might try to order the 60A or 100A version if they ever get restocked in the USA.
I am so glad I was able to order 1 Turnigy 17.5 (2S) motor from the USA Warehouse yesterday. I got an update email saying they had 21pcs freshly stocked. When I ordered the count was down to 17pcs. Now I checking again in less than 24 hours they are all sold out!
