Brushless advice

[mdb_75]

Hi, I'm getting back into 4wd buggy racing after 14 or so years off.

I am trying to decide on a brushless system. So far I'm considering the Nosram NR90100 - Matrix Brushless Reverse as I like the idea of a reverse for when it all goes wrong! Otherwise it's a Matrix Evolution or Novak Gtb, although I can't see what extra either of those would give me over the cheaper reverse esc?

Motor wise I think a 6.5T will be plenty fast enough for me. Is it best to stick with the same brand motor as the speedcontroller or woud a Orion Vortex 6.5T work fine with any of the above esc's? I'm really only considering the Orion motor as it's cheaper than Nosrams or Novaks offerings!

Any advice welcome
