Ok lets summarise:

Yes in normal circumstances 60A is fine for Blinky, *But* if your motor is screwed (ie stator busted or solder bridging two phases) it WILL pull more amps and can potentially blow the ESC. A 5.5 turn motor free revving on your desk will pull less amps than a 21.5 in your TC on the track. Amp load is what is key and there are more factors than you can point a stick at here. Drivetrain efficiency, car weight, motor condition, even battery condition will affect ripple current.

Setting at 6A on your analyser, is essentially being a lemming. If you want to race like a mindless drone, have at it, Nick Adams is king, all hail...... you get the idea.

The most vocal self proclaimed experts on here also frequent the B main in antiquated and poorly maintained cars that probably should be kept in the car park. TT-01? Not quite, I think I heard TC4, which was a great car 15 YEARS AGO

And remember, you're asking a bunch of people behind a computer to tell you how to play toy cars. Sorry but it is what it is. Don't over think this s@it, All the motor tuning in the world and super low resistance ESC is worthless if you bin it first corner.
