Well if ya just need a esc, the sidewinder is a great low budget choice but you'll need a cclink or access to one. If ya want an esc and motor the fxr combs are it! Get a ccbec with either. |

Either the Sidewinder or the FXR is a great choice. The FXR is smaller and has a little stronger dragbrake, but costs a little more. Either one will work just fine with your motor. You will need a Castle BEC with either one if you plan to run a high powered servo.

FXR is the way to go. Small and easy to find a place for, plenty of adjustment, you don't need to buy anything extra to adjust it & lipo ready with adjustable cut offs. I have run mine for 6-7 months and it has been rock solid. |
