The 160a esc will work mate but they are only rated to 160a max and they have a reputation of being rather, how can I put it.... S***! Had one with my virus and 2650 and it blew after about 4 packs. Find the 150a one or I use the ezrun sc8 wp 120a. Rated much higher than the 160a and around the same price (ish) hope this helps bud.
