As far as i perceive, the motor chart says that the max current for the motor is 35A. And the rule of thumb is that the rating of the esc shud be about 1.5 times the max current for the motor.  So, choose an esc of the range 50-60 amps. But, i guess the 45A would also work fine. But, please wait for the inputs from other experienced members as i may be wrong.


BTW, good to see that you are also from kolkata, could you plz pm me your location.
