KollMorgen 400
It has 18poles, a 78mm x 45mm rotor and the case size is 110mm x 79mm. Its originally intended for an electric 24v scooter but I will be running it on 10s lipo. The motor had immense power when it was in the scooter. I could pop wheelies on a full charge without having to lean back.

ESC I plan to buy- http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...12S_BESC_(Ver4)
I did some research on the motor and my guess is the electronics will be ok, I would be concerned about your drivetrain with the amount of torque that motor will produce and the amount of RPMs the motor is designed for (3500) but you never know untill you try...some of the most fun I have had with projects is trying something new
