Default Sensored brushless motor and esc for under $200

Just picked up a axial bomber kit and need a motor and esc budget is $200. Probably going to be doing u4 type racing. Any suggestions? Thanks!

200$ won't get you far for U4 racing...

Pay once, cry once :
Holmes puller pro 540-L 4100kv with a Mamba X

Actually both were discounted for black Friday on Amain Hobbies, maybe they are still there for cyber monday

I was also looking at the crawler edition castle motors but their out of stock. How do you think that’ll compare to the Holmes hobbie puller?

I actually ended up spending a little more than I wanted and got the mamba monster X extreme 1:8 scale, that should work good with the puller pro right?

Yes but it's over the top and very big. Might be hard to fit it inside the cage of the bomber
Mamba X is enough for 1/10 scale.

The Mamba Monster X is basically an over-sized Mamba X with heavier-duty internals allowing it to power bigger and heavier vehicles.

Same feature list and capabilities otherwise.

Biggest issue is finding somewhere to mount it in the Bomber, as there isn't a whole lot of room...

I've got one of each.

In my Yeti I run a Mamba X ESC with a Hobbystar Pro4 sensored motor. I'm very happy with that combination, and it cost me well under $200. I like the motor so much that I'm considering replacing the sensored Castle slate motor in my Bomber with another one.

Oo.... I didn’t even think of the lack of space.

Pulled the trigger on the mamba monster x, hopefully it fits. Thanks again for the advice.

It will fit, you just have to get a little creative - plenty were installed before the Mamba X was released with the smaller case...

Personally I'd have stuck one of these in & spent the other $35 on hardened pinions & steel spur

I just noticed the Holmes hobbies shaft size is 3.175mm, seems like an odd shaft size. I have 3mm pinions do you think that’ll work?

3.175 mm is 1/8 inch which has been the standard size of RC motor shafts and pinion bores since the 80s. A pinion actually sized for a 3 mm shaft would be the odd size.
