I have a converted lst, and have tried a few motors, all with a monster esc. I really think is will be superior to the HW esc. As far as the motor goes, not sure of the castle motor will move that truck to almost 50mph. You may want to gear it down a bit, like a 22t pinion. And you will need a good 5s lipo, at least 150 amp cont rating, no maxamps...
FYI, I run a hacker c50 10xl (1600kv) on a 6s 4500 30c flightpower lipo. Gearing is 24/63 and I have the FOC gearset with the gears flipped for a bit less overall reduction. I have some badlands on it right now, but plan to put the lst2 wheels and tires on it. They are taller and heavier, so I am going to a 1521 1y (1577kv) and may drop to a 23t pinion. My current setup will get that 6s battery quite warm... Something to think about....
