And I could use some advice on an ESC. Since it's a 550 motor , should I just go ahead and get something like a Tekin RX8 or something similar? I think it's a little big and will run a little warm for a smaller RS series....but can't be sure on that.

Could you give me some choices on what may work good with a big ol' 550 4.5T motor?
Why would you spend that type of money on a 2 pole 550 motor when you can get a HW SCT-Pro ESC, 4 pole SC motor and programming card for $160 - $190 total?

There is no point in buying US branded ESC's and motors for SC nowadays when there are half priced alternatives that are just as good or better.
