motor and esc combo?

[RcJunkie13]

Hey guys, know that this is and arrma forum and all, but you guys would know about electronics. I have a traxxas 8s 160a esc and this tp motor

Can I run that esc?
I also have a spectrum firma 160a with a bad switch, has anyone bypassed it? Otherwise I would have to wait for a switch from china, unless somone can sell me one off a dead spectrum or hobbywing esc, it is a 4 wire switch.

Would be helpful to know the specs of the motor

Sorry, got it for free from lhs, no specs

Are there any markings on the motor or words on the sticker that identify the motor type?

The gear doesn't look like mod 1, so i am guessing it's a 3674 (TP3640 in their specs @2800W)

Even if it's bigger as long as you gear it cautiously both ESC's should be able to run with it. If it likes 8S is hard to tell if you don't know anything about the winding. Do you have something to measure it's rpm's?

Are there any markings on the motor or words on the sticker that identify the motor type?
