Default Best brushless esc/motor combo Smooth powerful cheap

want to get scx10 but i want brushless and havo no idea what to do or get. i have a vxls 3s and figured i could use that, but is there any other esc thats first cheap have good reverse , smooth ,waterproof, good on heat

want lower kv and more power motor than a regular 1000kv ( figured it would make smoother)
+ let the power push and the gears make it faster in the 2 speed i want to add
was looking at rc4wd corefire esc but couldn't find one
lookin to run on 2s but 3s for fun

Really there is no cheap good brushless system. There are a couple of systems out there that are sub $100 but those systems are not sensored so unless you run some crazy gearing you are going to have a ton of cogging.

With brushless systems, you really do get what you pay for.

Default Cheap Power

I have tried the hobbywing crawler system it is very fair priced comes with programing card. Must use 3s for any proformance. It is 1200kv. Cogging was not bad. If you run say Goats run 18.5 on 2s more run time less heat than 3s on 21.5. Testing was done on LCC.

XeRun Esc is fantastic and reasonably priced.

It's THAT good it replaced Mamba Max Pro's in all my off-roaders.
Only downside i've found are the XeRun motors.

Any Brushless sensored motor will work fine though, so my advice would be the XeRun 120a Esc and what ever these guys recommend is a good motor

Might help if you define your budget more? Like others have said brushless sensored does cost more then brushed systems.

I got a goat 3s with 18.5 ballistic & bec and thought that was cheap?
