I was under the impression the Hobbywing ESC and X12 motor was not a good combination because the LRP motors have too much timing? The idea being you have zero or little timing on the motor, and ramp it right up as the RPMs increase via the ESC. This means efficient, high torque at low RPMs, ramping up to huge top-end RPM as the timing advances - iirc, maxing out at a total of 60 degrees, counting timing advance + boost + motor timing.
I know the Speed Passion V3 / Speed Passion w/ HW firmware is the preferred choice of the #1 speed freak at UMCC, and he is constantly tinkering with ESC/motor to get more power.
The last firmware update from hobbywing really impressed me - lots of detail, and they switched to real units from arbitrary numbers. Timing advances x degrees per y RPMs etc.
I'd look at the latest GM motors with 1600 gauss magnets (barely less than those insane Graupner Sport motors) and adjustable timing, with either Hobbywing or GM ESC.
