Default ESC Recomendations

Morning all,

im looking to getting back into RC racing, atm it looks like a DEX410 v3 or a Cat SX3. Im not familiar with modern ESc's/brushless motors etc.

I don't want to mess about, and buy things twice, however i don't have an endless supply of money to burn either and am working to a rough budget of £450-500 for everything.

Looking at the BRCA homologated lists, I was thinking of getting the HPI Flux Pro 8.5T motor, can be had for about £55ish online which seems like a decent price.

I am now looking to get a ESC to go with said motor, and would like to get something that I can pair with a faster motor for the future, say down to a 5 or 6 turn motor.

However I don't really want to spend over £100 on this, and ideally about £75.

Is this possible? If so, what will match my requirements? Am I better off looking for a second hand one? and if so, what type/model etc?

They are very confusing things, in my day I had a Nosram Dominator HF, 3 pots to tweak and that was it!

Many thanks for any help/opinions provided,

Cheers, Rob
