I have the Park 370 4100kv brushless motor for the blade cp and also have the Eflite 20 amp brushless esc and cc thunderbird-18 esc. Which should I use? Which is better?

either should work fine, i tend to side on the CC side, but their ESC's always work like a charm for me.

The CC 18 should give you a little more power out of the motor. The E-Flite ESC is set up for low timing (not adjustable) so it doesn't give as much power to the motor as the CC ESC.

I am using the E-Flite 20 with the 370 4100 motor and it still has more power than my Blade's tail can handle. I have to run 95% max in my throttle curve to get the tail to keep up.

I'd opt for the Thunderbird 18.. If you're running 3S LiPos, try to find a 7T pinion for that motor.
