Brushless, what esc and motor

[Brabusben]

Ok this is going to be a budget build (£65 car what else can it be!) as its a starter car for me and my slash 4x4 is hopped up ++++, but I need to be brushless, will be running 2s all the time.

Looking for a reasonable quality budget brushless esc/motor

Recommendations would be gratefully appreciated

Car, bearings, 2.4 trans/reciever all Xmas prezzies, rest I have to get myself - not a problem but the wife won't let me spend too much (in the ideal world I'd be running MMP esc so I could swap into my slash 4x4 but too expensive)

What Kv motor should I be looking at?
What power esc should I be looking at?

Other things on list will be shocks - will probably scour second hand for these, and a few spares lol

Thanks for your help in advance

Ps: I'll be running mainly on grass 1:10 courses in uk if that helps

Forgot - I will be getting mad monkey ;0)

The alternative, of course is to go for the RTR 2.4kHz at £165 - but then there's no fun in building it :0( and I'm sure I'll still want to upgrade this system anyway, or is this brushless system ok?

You might be better served, and get more reliable responses, by telling people what your actual "budget" is.

Doh! Sorry, my budget is trying to keep it near to the price of the RTR (£165 all in) but can be stretched to £200 or so all in - meaning around £60-125 for esc/motor combo, unless there is a spectacular upgrade for slightly more......

Of course I've not rule out second hand options (like a B4 or a 22) but realistically, don't thnk I'm going to get a runner for much less than £250-300

Actually, I've been a bit of a muppet, for the budget I've allocated for upgrading this buggy, I could get a new associated B4.1 - think that might be a better option!? - possibly even cheaper?

its simple to me get thew monkey the B4.1 is old news and not gonna be as easy to get good results with.

get an ansmann 7.5 with a hobbywing xerun 120A and you wont look back

[Brabusben]

Really, ok, I'll look into that - thanks. The 120A comes with many different motor combinations - which kV would you recommend?

That's right, stick with this guy's advice, he knows what he's talking about - everyone knows ansmann dominated the A-Finals at last month's World Championships while the B4.1 struggled just to win the race.
