I just got a 60 amp hobbywing esc and Losi 22t. The truck seems kind of heavy so I was wondering if it would be too much for a 60 amp esc.

Well, I've never run Hobbywing so hopefully someone will drop by to reinforce what I have to say but, no way. 17.5 NT in you ST is definitely not too much for a 60 AMP ESC.

No worries at all. Ive been running stock stadium truck with a Juststock 45a and it does just fine. You will be good to go.

You are all good. For safe sake I try to double my esc amperage rating to my motor max amp draw, but it isnt nec to do this. For me my Trakpower max is 28 amps(pretty close for most 17.5's) so your 60amp esc will be just fine. You really need to be careful when you run 4x4 shortcourse since those beast's draw alot due to the monster motors. You would be fine with their 35 amp unit too, just run a bit warmer and be at the edge of it's capabilities.
