Default Question on ESC's, brushless, and lipo's.
I'm new here and I want to convert my Losi 1/18 Desert Truck to brushless but I'm still a little confused on what I need to get.

I know I have to get the C ratings on stuff correct. The Lipo and the ESC need higher continuous and burst c rating than the motor, right? Does the the lipo need higher c ratings than the esc or vise versa?

I'm thinking about getting this motor, Tacon 2030-18T Brushless Motor 5200KV, but hobbypartz doesnt' give the continuos and burst c ratings on motors. Is there a way to calculate that so I know what lipo and esc to get?

Also, do motors usually come with a pinion gear or do I have to buy that separately?
