Trying to compare older equipment performance to todays stuff. would a 19 turn brushed motor best compare with a 13.5 or 17.5 brushless

Also, how do the 50c or 60c one cell lipos compare withe the 4300 mah nimh 4 cell packs?

Depends heavily on whether ESC boost/dynamic timing is used.
No boost, a good 19T is between 10.5 & 13.5 best I can tell.
With boost, even a 17.5 is likely faster.

As for the batteries, even cheap 15C Lipos give more punch than their comparable NiMH brothers.

I was running 6cell NiMH (3000, 3300, and 4200) in my SC10. Switched to a 2600 15C and it was like the turbo kicked in... much more than just the extra 0.2v would equate to...

4.8v nominal compared to 3.7v nominal would be....well... OK, I can't speak from experience here, but I would think that where they lack in voltage, they make up for holding the voltage under load, as well as being much lighter. Should be pretty comparable.

I was thinking unboosted esc.

Basically, I bought a 12r5 with a 19 turn and 4 cell nimh in it. I wanted to practice locally with that until my lipo pack and motor/esc combo come in, and I was wondering how far off I would be. I was hoping it would be somewhat close.
