|  ESC opinions?
Ok, so my WK has now become a Widow chassis with zero issues in suspension and travel. My issue is the stock WK ESC has seen better days and needs to be replaced. I am using the Axial AX-3 transmitter and AR-3 receiver (they work pretty dang well and were free). I know going LiPO is the next step, so new motor, battery and ESC are in order. Anyone open to tossing some options my way? Just trying to test the waters to see what others are running.

Widow chassis sounds like a crawler. I've been happy with the RC4WD esc in my Crawler King.

For budget friendly look at ae5 or hobby wing 1060 both can be had for 25 to 30 and are waterproof
