Default Motor / ESC Suggestions B5M

Good evening, I'm currently running at an indoor carpet track (not a large track 10-13 second laps) Typically 23-28 laps on average in a 5 minute race. I am currently running a castle sidewinder 3 esc/ motor combo (4600kv) Looking to go to a sensor-ed motor. Looking for some suggestions. Also any must have upgrades for the B5m? It has the 4 gear transmission currently.

The 120 amp is the better one and has an aluminum housing. Best price seems to be amain. The hobbywing motors are also good motors and would make a good combo. 8.5 turn seems to be very popular for mod. The shapeways laydown conversion for the b5m would be an awesome mod on carpet for more cornerspeed. They have a new one that uses the b6 laydown motor plate too.
