Default Noob to electric needs help

Hey everyone, I'm running a Losi rtr 8ight 2.0 Nitro. I've been holding off on converting to electric due to lack of knowledge. Well I'm finally digging in and getting a little overwhelmed.

I am not a club racer, I do run on a local track usually once a week.

I have been researching online and from what I can figure out a 150a esc with a 2000kv ~ 2200kv motor on a 4s lipo would be a good setup.

Could I get away with a 120a?

I don't know the difference and how this all goes together.

I want to be around $300 batteries included.

I was set to go with a Xerun 150a esc but they appear to be discontinued or out of stock anywhere I look.

I looked at Turnigy Trackstar 150a and that looks like it would work as well. They also have a Turnigy 2100kv sensored motor i was going to pair with it.

I'm just looking for opinions and options. If my price point is unrealistic then I will adjust accordingly. I don't need the best of the best. I just need something reliable so I can enjoy the hobby.

Thanks.
