Default ESC/motor combo for my car

I have been in doubt.
I need an ESC/motor combo for my Twin Hammers (it weighs 2.4 kg / 5.2 lbs).
It is not used for anything serious, just for fun and bashing.
My first thought was:
SIDEWINDER 4 WP SENSORLESS ESC SCT EDITION W / 1410-3800.
But now I have also looked at:
Hobbywing EZRUN Combo MAX10 3652SL 4000KV
&
Hobbywing XERUN Combo XR8 SCT 3652SD - B - 3800kv "Not Waterproof "
Could well use some advice, as I don't want to throw more money out of the window (due to error purchases)?

The sidewinder combo would be by choice, after using both Castle and Hobbywing products.

For bashing the sidewinder is hard to beat. If you do want to try and crawl with it, it is a little lack luster.

Don't think my economy is for a Mamba X

I have no place crawl.
The car is just used for fun ... right where I am when I want ... in forests, on the beach and in the backyard.

I used a 4000kv 4 pole brushless system(unsensored) in my Twin hammers on 2s. Geared as low as I could she crawled ok and ran good in low gear. In high gear She was every bit as fast as a bone stock Traxxas Slash. The only real problem I had was breaking CVD's up front. They would only last about 4 hours before grenading.

If you want to have a laugh with the Twin hammers, get a 1512 2650 KV castle motor and a hobbywing max 10SCT esc. Change the spur to a 32dp. It will then run 4S and absolutely fly. This one was locked in 2nd gear. Now its running a 3660 3800kv with a hobbywing 80amp esc on 3S and its still rather lively.
