Especially considering the Aust distributor recommended the ESC & had checked my motor (I sent it last time I toasted one of these) & said it should be good.

Bummer, guess not.

Well, I'll ask him what he'll do now after this.

I have a 2084kv sitting here will that be any better?

& oh yes, it was fun alright for about 10-15mins.

I guess, I still have a lot to learn about these things.

Just looked at these, http://www.impaktrc.com/product_info...oducts_id=2461 http://www.impaktrc.com/product_info...oducts_id=2681 would they be better suited?
The 2084kv motor would be a much better choice with the gearing you have... The amp ratings of motors are not really viable with car use. They are based on some sort of prop testing.
