Default Motor/esc suggestion

So i have a bit of a unique/different project going on. I want to build a trail rig/rock racer/bouncer out of an 8th scale buggy. Ive got pretty much everything in my build figured out besides the motor/esc combo.

Id like to have good low speed control but also have a bunch of power (planning to run 3 and 4s lipo) so i am thinking a 550 motor probably still isnt enough but i wanted the opinion of people with more experience in brushless crawlers.

Weight of the rig, tire size and transmission gearing all play a little part in this.

What you running?

How about the newer Holmes 4274 puller pro, paired with a MMX?
