I dont know anything about that motor but I'm guessing it may not be much better than a good 19t.
as for the esc, do you have to have reverse?
I would go with the novak fusion, it can handle down to 12t for about $55.
there are lots of motors out there, I've been very happy with a 12t D5 flatliner..
It uses p94 brushes that are about $5 a pop, I changed the hoods to take standard laydown brushes, and I've actually found it to be faster, plus they are cheaper.
with this combo my tc3 is about as fast as I can drive it for the area I have to run it..
If you are just running long straights in a parking lot then you are always going to want somthing faster..
limit yourself to some sort of track layout that will for force you to have to be smooth, not just fast.

forgot to mention, I usually cut the comm after 3 runs and change the brushes after about 5 depending on how they look.
