Default Which ESC for one 65T motor and two Hitec 645MG ?

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Crawler world and I'm building one on XTM Mammoth ST axles. I saw different configurations with two motors, two servos, etc. but I'm not able to know what I have to pay attention to for my configuration in the choice of my esc.
As I wrote in the title, I have one Motor Lathe 65T and will run two Hitec servos. I'm using a stampede transmission.
Which features should have the ESC ?
- BEC, etc. ?
Has it to be no limit ?
I'll probably run the truck with a standard 6 Cells Stick(7,4), but how can I know if I need a receiver pack ?
I'm sorry, electric is not really my world...
Greetings from Germany !
Yohan

they will probably tell you the tekin rebel 2 with a BEC @ 5amps, to run those huge servos. and that is the cheaper option. however the rebel has been giving people some problems. so the other choice is the now discontinued Novak super rooster with the lower BEC @ 3amps.... but i guess u could run whatever u wanted and use a pack of AA's for the servos, that is my plan 4 2650mAh AA Rechargable Duracells.

I used a super rooster with a 5955tg servo (333oz of torque) for the front steering and a 645mg for the rear on my tlt with no rec pack and never ever had a problem with it.Im using a XRS now on my new crawler and not happy with it i would go super rooster if i was you...just my .02

Thanks @all for your replies,
About the moped, which one do you mean ? (Pro,plus,super ?)
As I understand, the more you have on the BEC output and the fewer you'll need a receiver pack ?

Ok, I found the thread about the moped...I'm convinced !
It's perfect for my low budget.
Thanks again.

Hi,
I ordered the V16R at Rcmart and I received today an email because it out of stock at the moment !
I tried to find another way to order it but I didn't find any shops which sells it.
Do you know where I could get it ?
Thanks.

Super Rooster is the only way to go. Years of use and no problems.

Go read all the problems people are having with the Tekin Rebel 2.

The Novak ESC is probably very good but the price is two time the price of the Moped !:-(

How much money you want to spend? my suggestion would be the mamba maxx

it is both a brushed and brushless esc and has more than enough power to both servos.

then you will have options of upgrading to brushless later.

I want to spend as little as possible as it's my first crawler. That's the reason why I was interested in the Moped ESC.
