:ö: Hi DanielS, using fullsize ESC with12 or lower than 12 turn motor limit is the best option for you to use in this project

, it can easily take up up to 10turn modified 130type motor!, usually this type of esc have "thermal shutdown" that automatically turns off your esc if you use a motor that draws too much amp,or if you use too high gear ratio, this prevent major damage on your electronics.
