Any good, cheap Yeti motor/ ESC combos out there?

[ThatJeeper2017]

I am thinking about getting a Axial Yeti kit, and I was wondering what the best motor/ESC combo under $200 would be. Thanks!

The Castle Mamba X esc and 1406-2850Kv motor Combo.

Sensored, aux wire (!), good with 3s, 4s capable, the esc and motor fit without mods.

I use the same esc with the more expensive Tekin ROC 412 HD 3100kv motor for a bit more speed on 3s (4s is a really tight fit on the yeti and I don't use 4s). The Tekin is also advertised as 'element proof', FWIW.

If you aren't doing low-speed crawling then you don't really need sensored motors. A Leopard 3660 3180kv is the same price as that Castle 3650 but quite a bit stronger. If you're allergic to spending money on motors like me, you could get a GoolRC 3660 3800kv (or 2600kv) or even the monster 3670 2850kv for 1/3 the price. I have the 3670 and another 3674 in a boat and they're a fantastic value.

Sensorless you can't beat a good hobbywing combo either Xerun or Ezrun
They are a top racing brand and very good price

Bashers in my area are all running Max8 combos and they can take a beating.

Thanks for all the help guys! I’m leaning towards the hobbywing due to price.
