Didn't take is that way brian. I suppose using too low of and amp esc would just burn the esc up. If I remember correctly. Running at half throttle is actually worse on things then running at full thottle. So even thinking I would not need full throttle with that setup. Still doesn't get me in the cheaper seats.
How about....
It sounds like you guys feel the load would be lighter then a rustler for example. If I am running two motors and two esc to push this thing. Using a low gearing setup for each motor. That should help lighten the load that is put on each motor. Right.?.? I'm sure my math isn't going to work here. If each motor would be doing half the work. I could take the 70amp esc that I might get by with and divide that by two and run two 35amp esc. What are the odds the esc(s) would last until the LVC cut in for the lipos?
id say just buy a sidewinder, add a fan, ubec and capacitor and call it a day... it MAY work great, but i dunno, seems to run the 5400 max... but with a ubec and capacitor it would take the load off, and you would have programming options :)
OR spend the money on the Mamba max esc and not worry about it blowing up, but that isnt cheap i know! (cheaper than buying a cheap esc for $50 then buying a mamba max when it blows up )
