RE: ESC?
That ESC youve picked is a 20+ turn so it wont run that titan 12 turn very well,it will run that stock silver can motor tho.
Look for the mtronik rv 11 its a nice cheap 11+ turn ESC and it will run that titan motor.
The ESC turn limit need to be under the motor turns ie 11t esc for a 12t motor esc

RE: ESC?
Novak XRS is a good esc or if u want cheap look for the tazer 12turn good for a budget esc.
Or go all out and get a no limit esc then u can use any brushed motor on it i picked up a ripmax quake for £40 over here and it runs any motor sweet

RE: ESC?
Titan 12T is a big can motor.. (550 sized). Probably not ideal for a race car.. but if you want to run it, you'd need an ESC that can handle down to maybe 14T? (since it is 550-sized motor, it does not draw as much current..) But of course, you can always play safe and use an ESC that can handle lower turn motor than 14T..

RE: ESC?
Maybe spend a few bucks more and get a BL controller (that also do brushed) and you can upgrade to BL motor later on?!

RE: ESC?
^ Yeh will need soldering but u will need decent connectors anyway like deans to run either BL motors or low turn brushed motors might as well learn how now

RE: ESC?
Probably time to learn how to solder.. it is not hard.. you can get a cheap soldering iron for less than $10..
You probably need that skill if you want to stay in RC..

RE: ESC?
hmm i thought it was more expensive... i was searching for a cheap esc and then i saw the Mamba Max for like $220 on towerhobbies so i decided to check it out on ebay and i found it for like $170 so now i am thinking about saving up while i build my chassis and buy the mamba max but i only have a 6c 3600 battery, would that be enough until i get some more money?
