Default I need help please

I'm kind of new to the scale truck thing
I need to know a couple things

Castle creations sidewinder v3 .. Any good?
Can you run brushed and brushless

Holmes BRXL .. Expensive and the only thing I see is it can handle to 6s

I'm disabled and on a kind of tight budget

So any information will be greatly appreciated

Ae2 and a Holmes Hobbies brushed 13t motor and you will be good. About 60 for both.

Yup. Bang for the buck that is a solid setup.

No its not waterproof stock but it's about 1/3 the cost which leaves plenty of money on the table to conformal coat it and the rest of the electronics and still have money left over.

The ae 5 isn't that much more ... I should go that route

I have a brand new rc4wd 35t sitting here

What kind of wheel speed would I expect from it?

That's good combo.

Hobbywing Quicrun 1060WP is great esc waterproof for $22.

35T motor is perfect.

The ae2 to me is better than the ae5. I think it slow crawls better. Conformal silicone coating is 12 bucks. Don't forget the castle link and castle bec.
