MarkT:
You need to work out your speed and torque requirements first, then choose the
motor / gearing. Don't go for a sensorless BLDC, its not going to produce much torque
from stationary and spin-up sequence may fail.

Have a look at other similar projects to see what can work, it'll help suggest
realistic speed/torque values. There's bound to be at least one on hackaday!

Yhea i was originally inspired by a project on hackaday but this is the best build i've seen so far:

unfortunally Turnigy does not sell those anymore, i can only find these:

This one from ebay:

and this one:

will they do? The speed of papo (owns the endles-sphere thread) looks good

He uses this ESC: EZRUN 150 amp car esc (http://www.ebay.com/itm/RC-Truck-Car-Hobbywing-EZRUN-150A-PRO-Brushless-Motor-ESC-Speed-Controller-2s-6s-/321152878309?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ac63406e5)
