Finally getting back into my stress release hobby and trying to get my son into it what's going to be the cheapest way to go as far as electronics for a crawler for him I already got a ax10 scorpion kit on the way I know I'm looking for a 55t so I don't have to worry about full throttle into a wall

There's a LOT of cheap options atm. For motors, RC4WD & GoolRC offer some decent cheap motors. For the ESC I'd recommend a take-off AE-5 or 1040 from ebay or a Hobbywing WP-1060 or WP-1080. If you also need a radio, Flysky really can't be beat. A GT-3C or FS-GT2 would work great and extra receivers are only $5-9.

For batteries it depends on how old he is. If you get the WP-1080 and he can recognize lipo-cut, I'd get a Gens Ace 2200mAh 25C 3S or the 4000mah. SkyRC ac/dc charger would be a good deal to go with a lipo. Otherwise get a NiMH 6-cell as it's safer for younger kids. A Redcat/Hexfly batt/combo would connect right up to the right AE-5 esc pulled from a Redcat.

Sweet thank you looks like all the stock esc and motors that people are pulling off the axials are being sold for brand new price that's what I was originally looking for what's a good price on those that I'm not getting ripped off

Yep, they're great for upgrading bashers or fixing dumpster finds. The take-off esc's are usually $15-25. Motors are usually $10-20 range. The better HW esc's are usually $20 and $45 for the 2 models IIRC, a bit less if you get it from China.

Also if you plan on running 3S or more than 6-cell NiMH, consider a cheap Hobbywing BEC. Running high volts thru the AE-5 makes if very hot from it's internal BEC. With an external BEC and 3S, my AE-5 is nearly cold.

nuff said, fairly reliable electronics

I plan on getting him a 55 turn I don't want him to be able to go full throttle with a lot of speed and smack into something
