Oh, forgot to mention that I spent a scant 72 hours in Honolulu a few weeks ago. I didn't call. That was rude. I'll have to come back.

Just keep an eye on what steering servo you use with that esc.
If I recall there was an issue or two at horsham when using it with a high speed (high draw)1/10 servo.

Many of the digital & brushless 1/10th servos would shut down the BEC in the pits while simply sawing the wheel back and forth, and some made it around the track a few times before melting in a pool of plastic. 
The Tekin Fx has a 3A BEC and it's almost as small as the B1, which is another good choice.
